Read Mark 6 in full →Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
33And the people saw them going, and many recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead of them. 34And when Jesus went 1ashore, He asaw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because bthey were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things. 35And when it was already quite late, His disciples came to Him and began saying, “1This place is desolate and it is already quite late; 36send them away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves 1something to eat.” 37But He answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat!” aAnd they *said to Him, “Shall we go and spend two hundred 1,bdenarii on bread and give them something to eat?” 38And He *said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look!” And when they found out, they *said, “Five, and two fish.” 39And He commanded them all to 1sit down by 2groups on the green grass. 40And they 1sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties. 41And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He ablessed the food and broke the loaves. And He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them, and He divided up the two fish among them all. 42And they all ate and were satisfied, 43and they picked up twelve full abaskets of the broken pieces, and also of the fish. 44And there were afive thousand men who ate the loaves.
