Matthew 14:13-21
Five Thousand Men Fed
13 aNow when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the ▼▼Lit the crowds
people heard about this, they followed Him on foot from the cities. 14When He came ▼▼Lit out
ashore, He dsaw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and ehealed their sick. 15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is secluded and the hour is already past to eat; send the crowds away, so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go; you give them something to eat!” 17They *said to Him, “We have nothing here except ffive loaves and two fish.” 18And He said, “Bring them here to Me.” 19And ordering the crowds to ▼▼Lit recline
sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked up toward heaven. He hblessed the food and breaking the loaves, He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces: twelve full ibaskets. 21There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.
