Mark 6:30-33

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

30 ⁱ, ^jThe apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. 31And he said to them, “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” For many were coming and going, and ^kthey had no leisure even to eat. 32 ^lAnd they went away in ^mthe boat to a desolate place by themselves. 33Now many saw them going and ⁿrecognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.

Luke 9:10-17

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

10On their return ^othe apostles told him all that they had done. ^pAnd he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida. 11When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he ^qwelcomed them and ^rspoke to them of the kingdom of God and ^scured those who had need of healing. 12Now ^tthe day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, ^u“Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.” 13But he said to them, ^v“You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than ^wfive loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” 14For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16And taking the five loaves and the two fish, ^xhe looked up to heaven and ^ysaid a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.

John 6:1-15

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

1After this ^zJesus went away to the other side of ^aathe Sea of Galilee, which is ^abthe Sea of Tiberias. 2And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3Jesus went up on ^acthe mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4Now ^adthe Passover, the ^aefeast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 ^afLifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to ^agPhilip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 ^ahPhilip answered him, “Two hundred denarii ▼

▼A  denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer

worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.” 8One of his disciples, ^ajAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9“There is a boy here who has five ^akbarley loaves and two fish, but ^alwhat are they for so many?” 10Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” ^amNow there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11Jesus then took the loaves, and ^anwhen he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.” 13So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. 14When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, ^ao“This is indeed ^apthe Prophet ^aqwho is to come into the world!”

15 ^arPerceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus ^aswithdrew again to ^atthe mountain by himself.
