And the multitudes observed them going off, and many knew him, and ran thither on foot out of all the cities, and got before them, and came together unto him.

And when great part of the day was already gone, his disciples coming to him said, This is a desert place, and much of the day is already gone: send them away, that they may go into the country places and villages around, and buy themselves bread; for they have nothing to eat. But he answering said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy the value of two hundred denarii, in loaves, and give them to eat? But he said to them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they said, Five, and two fishes. And he commanded them to seat them all by companies on the green grass: and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide. And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, that they should set them before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. And they who did eat of the loaves, were about five thousand men.

And when the apostles returned, they told him what they had done. And taking them, he withdrew privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida. But when the multitudes knew it, they followed him and receiving them, he spake to them concerning the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of a cure.

Then he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more than five loaves, and two fishes; unless we go somewhere and buy provisions for all this multitude: for there were about five thousand men. Then said he to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties each in companies. And they did so: and they made them all sit down. And taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. Then Jesus lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a vast concourse of people was come to him, said to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? And this he said to try him: for himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii spent in bread would not procure a sufficiency for them, that every one of them might have a morsel. One of his disciples saith to him, (Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,) There is a little lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but these, what are they among so many? Then said Jesus, Make the men sit down. For there was plenty of grass on the spot. Therefore the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took the loaves; and giving thanks, gave to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sat down; and in the same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose. And when they had made a hearty meal, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the broken bits which are left, that not a morsel be wasted. Then they collected them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments out of the five barley-loaves, which were more than enough for those who had eaten. When therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done, they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which is to come into the world.
