Mark 6:31-46

³¹And he said to them, Come ye by yourselves into a desert place; and rest ye a little. For there were many that came, and went again, and they had not space for to eat.

³²And they went into a boat, and went into a desert place by them-selves.

³³And they saw them go away, and many knew, and they went afoot from all cities, and ran together thither, and came before them.

³⁴And Jesus went out, and saw much people, and had ruth or mercy on them, for they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.

³⁵And when it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and the time is now passed;

³⁶let them go into the next towns and villages, to buy them meat to eat.

³⁷And he answered, and said to them, Give ye to them for to eat. And they said to him, Go we, and buy we loaves with two hundred pence, and we shall give to them for to eat.

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

³⁹And he commanded to them, that they should make all men sit to meat by companies, on the green hay.

⁴⁰And they sat down by parts or by parties, by hundreds, and by fifties.

⁴¹And when he had taken the five loaves, and two fishes, he beheld into heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave to his disciples, that they should set before them. And he parted two fishes to all;

⁴²and all ate, and were full-filled or fulfilled.

⁴³And they took the remnants of broken meats, twelve coffins full, and of the fishes.

⁴⁴And they that ate, were five thousand of men.

⁴⁵And anon he made his disciples to go up into a boat, to pass before him over the sea to Bethsaida, while he let the people go.

⁴⁶And when he had left them, he went into an high hill, to pray.
