And the Apostles gathered themselues together vnto Iesus, and tolde him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

And he said vnto them, Come yee your selues apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many comming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eate.

And they departed into a desert place by ship priuately.

And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ranne afoote thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together vnto him.

And Iesus when he came out, saw much people, and was moued with compassion toward them, because they were as sheepe not hauing a shepherd: and hee beganne to teach them many things.

And when the day was now far spent, his Disciples came vnto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is farre passed.

Send them away, that they may goe into the countrey round about, and into the villages, and buy themselues bread: for they haue nothing to eate.

He answered and said vnto them, Giue yee them to eate. And they say vnto him, Shall we goe and buy two hundred penniworth of bread, and giue them to eate?

He saith vnto them, How many loaues haue yee? goe, and see. And when they knew, they say, Fiue, and two fishes.

And he commanded them to make all sit downe by companies vpon the greene grasse.

And they sate downe in rankes by hundreds, and by fifties.

And when he had taken the fiue loaues, and the two fishes, he looked vp to heauen, and blessed, and brake the loaues, and gaue them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes diuided he among them all.

And they did all eate, and were filled.

And they tooke vp twelue baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.

And they that did eate of the loaues, were about fiue thousand men.
