And the apostles gather themselves together unto Jesus, and reported unto him all things, as many as they had done, and as many as they had taught.

And he saith unto them - Come, ye yourselves, apart, into a desert place, and rest yourselves a little. For they who were coming and they who were going were many, and, not even to eat, were they finding fitting opportunity.

And they departed, in the boat, into a desert place, apart.

And many saw them going away, and took note of it, and, afoot, from all the cities, ran they together thither, - and outwent them.

And, coming forth, he saw, a great multitude, and was moved with compassion towards them, because they were like sheep having no shepherd, and he began to be teaching them many things.

And, already, a late hour, having arrived, his disciples came unto him and were saying, A desert, is the place, and it is, already, a late hour:

dismiss them, that, departing into the surrounding hamlets and villages, they may buy themselves something to eat.

But, he, answering said to them - Ye, give them, to eat. And they say unto him - Shall we depart and buy two hundred denaries' worth of loaves, and give them to eat?

And, he, saith unto them - How many loaves, have ye? Go, see! And, getting to know, they say - Five, and, two fishes.

And he gave them orders, that all should be made recline, in parties, upon, the green grass.

And they fell back, in companies, by hundreds and by fifties.

And, taking the five loaves, and the two fishes, looking up into heaven, he blessed, and brake up the loaves, and began giving unto the disciples, that they might set before them, and, the two fishes, divided he, unto all.

And they did all eat, and were filled.

And they took up broken pieces, twelve baskets, full measure, and from the fishes.

And they who did eat the loaves were, five thousand men.
