And so they set out and went from village to village, telling the good news and curing people everywhere. Now Herod the governor heard of all that was taking place, and he continued to be puzzled over the reports -- by some that John had risen from the dead, by others that Elijah had appeared, and by still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life. So Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who can this be about whom I hear such reports?" So he was trying to see Him. Now the apostles returned and told Jesus all that they had done. Then He took them and privately retired to a town called Bethsaida. But the crowds learned of it, and followed Him; and He welcomed them and began to speak to them about the kingdom of God and to cure the people who needed to be cured. As the day began to decline, the Twelve came up and said to Him, "Send the crowd off to the villages and farms around, to get lodging and to find food there, for we are in a destitute place here." But He said to them, "Give them something to eat yourselves." Then they said, "We have only five loaves and two fish, unless we go ourselves and buy food for all these people." For there were about five thousand men. So He said to His disciples, "Have them sit down in reclining groups of fifty each." And they did so, and made all the people sit down and recline. Then He took the five loaves and two fish and looked up to heaven and blessed them, and He broke them in pieces and gave them to the disciples to pass on to the people. And they all ate and had aplenty, and what they had left over was taken up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.
