John Chapter 63 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.5 Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, āWhere are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?ā6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.7 Philip answered him, āTwo hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.ā8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peterās brother, said to him,9 āThere is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?ā10 Jesus said, āHave the people sit down.ā Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted.12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, āGather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.ā13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten.14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, āThis is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!ā Luke Chapter 912 Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, āSend the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.ā13 But he said to them, āYou give them something to eat.ā They said, āWe have no more than five loaves and two fishāunless we are to go and buy food for all these people.ā14 For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, āHave them sit down in groups of about fifty each.ā15 And they did so, and had them all sit down.16 And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.17 And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces. Mark Chapter 633 Now many saw them going and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them.34 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.35 And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, āThis is a desolate place, and the hour is now late.36 Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.ā37 But he answered them, āYou give them something to eat.ā And they said to him, āShall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?ā38 And he said to them, āHow many loaves do you have? Go and see.ā And when they had found out, they said, āFive, and two fish.ā39 Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass.40 So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.41 And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven and said a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all.42 And they all ate and were satisfied.43 And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men. Matthew Chapter 1414 When he went ashore he saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.15 Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, āThis is a desolate place, and the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.ā16 But Jesus said, āThey need not go away; you give them something to eat.ā17 They said to him, āWe have only five loaves here and two fish.ā18 And he said, āBring them here to me.ā19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over.21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children. |
