Luke 9:10
Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand
10When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus
what they had done. Then he took them with him and
they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,
11but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He
welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom
of God, and healed those who needed healing.
12Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and
said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding
villages and countryside and find food and
lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”
13He replied, “You give them something to eat.”
They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread
and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all this
crowd.” 14(About five thousand men were there.)
But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in
groups of about fifty each.” 15The disciples did so, and
everybody sat down. 16Taking the five loaves and the broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set
before the people. 17They all ate and were satisfied, and
the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken
pieces that were left over.
