Luke 9:10-17 ▼

10 And having returned, the apostles related to Him how much they had done. And having taken them, He withdrew by Himself to a city called Bethsaida.

11 But the crowds, having known it, followed Him; and having received them, He was speaking to them concerning the kingdom of God, and He was healing those having need of healing.

12 And the day began to decline, and having come, the Twelve said to Him, “Dismiss the crowd so that, having gone to the surrounding villages and fields, they might lodge and might find provisions; for we are in a wilderness place here.”

13 But He said to them, “You? give to them to eat.” But they said, “There are unto us no more than five loaves and two fish, unless, having gone, we should buy food for all this people.”

14 For they were about five thousand men. And He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of about fifty.”

15 And they did so and made all sit down.

16 And having taken the five loaves and the two fish, having looked up to the heaven, He blessed and broke them, and He was giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

17 And they all ate and were satisfied; and that having superabounded to them was taken up, twelve hand-baskets of fragments.
