When Iesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship, into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foote, out of the cities.

And Iesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was mooued with compassion toward them, and he healed their sicke.

And when it was euening, his Disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may goe into the villages, and buy themselues victuals.

But Iesus said vnto them, They neede not depart; giue yee them to eate.

And they say vnto him, We haue heere but fiue loaues, and two fishes.

He said, Bring them hither to me.

And hee commanded the multitude to sit downe on the grasse, & tooke the fiue loaues, and the two fishes, and looking vp to heauen, hee blessed, and brake, and gaue the loaues to his Disciples, and the Disciples to the multitude.

And they did all eat, & were filled: and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained twelue baskets full.

And they that had eaten, were about fiue thousand men, beside women and children.
