And He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a little while." (For there were many people coming and going, and they did not even have time to eat.)

And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:

send them away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."

Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.

But He answered them, "You give them something to eat!" And they said to Him, "Shall we go and spend two hundred denarii on bread, and give it to them to eat?"

He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

But He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go look!" And when they found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."

He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
