30Meanwhile, the apostles gathered around Jesus and brought Him news of all they had done and taught.

31And He said to them, “Come with Me privately to a solitary place, and let us rest for a while.” For many people were coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.

32So they went away in a boat by themselves to a solitary place.

33But many people saw them leaving and recognized them. They ran together on foot from all the towns and arrived before them.

34When Jesus stepped ashore and saw a large crowd, He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And He began to teach them many things.

35By now the hour was already late. So the disciples came to Jesus and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is already late.

36Dismiss the crowd so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37But Jesus told them, “You give them something to eat.” They asked Him, “Should we go out and spend two hundred denarii to give all of them bread to eat?”

38“Go and see how many loaves you have,” He told them. And after checking, they said, “Five—and two fish.”

39Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.

40So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.

41Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke the loaves. Then He gave them to His disciples to set before the people. And He divided the two fish among them all.

42They all ate and were satisfied,

43and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44And there were five thousand men who had eaten the loaves.

30And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

31And he said unto them,Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while:for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.

32And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.

33And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.

34And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.

35And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:

36Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.

37He answered and said unto them,Give ye them to eat.And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

38He saith unto them,How many loaves have ye? go and see.And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

39And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.

40And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.

41And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

42And they did all eat, and were filled.

43And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.

44And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

30The apostles rejoined Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.

31And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to some quiet place, and rest a little while.” For people were coming and going in large numbers, and they had no time even for meals.

32So they set off by themselves in their boat for a secluded place.

33And many people saw them start and knew of it, and hurried around by land from all the neighboring towns, and got ahead of them.

34So when he got out of the boat, he found a great crowd gathered, and his heart was touched at the sight of them, because they were like sheep that have no shepherd; and he proceeded to teach them a great deal.

35When it grew late his disciples came up to him and said, “This is a lonely place and it is getting late.

36Send the people off to the farms and villages around to buy themselves something to eat.”

37But he answered, “Give them food yourselves.” They said to him, “Can we go and buy forty dollars’ worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”

38But he said to them, “How many loaves have you? Go and see.” They looked, and told him. “Five, and two fish.”

39And he directed them all to sit down in parties on the fresh grass.

40And they threw themselves down in groups, in hundreds and in fifties.

41Then he took the five loaves and the two fish and looked up to heaven and blessed the loaves and broke them in pieces and gave them to the disciples to pass to the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.

42And they all ate and had enough.

43And the pieces they gathered up filled twelve baskets, besides the pieces of the fish.

44There were five thousand men who ate the loaves.

30The twelve apostles returned to Jesus from the places to which they had gone. They reported to him what they had done and what they had taught to people.

31He said to them, “Come with me to a place where no people are living, in order that we can be alone and rest a little while!” He said this because many people were continually coming to them and going away again, with the result that Jesus and his disciples did not have time to eat or do anything else.

32So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.

33But many people saw them leaving. They also recognized that they were Jesus and the disciples, and they saw where they were going. So they ran ahead on land from all the nearby towns to the place where Jesus and his disciples were going. They actually arrived there before Jesus and the disciples.

34As Jesus and his disciples got out of the boat, Jesus saw this large crowd. He felt sorry for them because they were confused, like sheep that do not have a shepherd. So he taught them many things.

35Late in the afternoon, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where no people live and it is very late.

36So send the people away in order that they may go to the surrounding farms and villages in order that they can buy for themselves something to eat!”

37But he replied, “No, you yourselves give them something to eat!” They replied, “◄We could not buy enough bread to feed this crowd, even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days!/How could we buy enough bread to feed this mob, even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days?►” [RHQ]

38But he replied to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and find out!” They went and found out and then they told him, “We have only five flat loaves and two cooked fish!”

39He instructed the disciples to tell all the people to sit down on the green grass.

40So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.

41Jesus took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked God for them. Then he broke the loaves and fish into pieces and kept giving them to the disciples in order that they would distribute them to the people.

42Everyone ate this food until they all had enough to eat!

43The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces of bread and of the fish that were left over.

44There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread and fish. They did not even count the women and children.
