Mark 6:30-41

³⁰And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus. And they related to him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.

³¹And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a little. For those coming and those going were many, and they had not leisure even to eat.

³²And they went away apart into a desert place by ship.

³³And many saw them going, and recognised them, and ran together there on foot, out of all the cities, and got there before them.

³⁴And on leaving the ship Jesus saw a great crowd, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

³⁵And when it was already late in the day, his disciples coming to him say, The place is desert, and it is already late in the day;

³⁶send them away that they may go into the country and villages around, and buy themselves bread, for they have not anything they can eat.

³⁷And he answering said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them to eat?

³⁸And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew they say, Five, and two fishes.

³⁹And he ordered them to make them all sit down by companies on the green grass.

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

⁴¹And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples that they might set them before them. And the two fishes he divided among all.
