Thematic Bible



When even was come, his disciples came to him saying, "This is a desert place, and the day is spent, let the people depart that they may go in to the towns, and buy them victuals."

And he said, "Bring them hither to me." And he commanded the people to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. And they did all eat, and were sufficed. And they gathered up of the gobbets that remained twelve baskets full. And they that ate were in number about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the people, because they have continued with me now three days, and have nought to eat: and I will not let them depart fasting lest they perish in the way."

And they said, "Seven, and a few little fishes." read more.
