Context
The Feeding of the Five Thousand
6:30 Then the apostles gathered around Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught .
6:31 He said to them , “Come with me privately to an isolated place and rest a while ” (for many were coming and going , and there was no time to eat ).
6:32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to some remote place .
6:33 But many saw them leaving and recognized them, and they hurried on foot from all the towns and arrived there ahead of them .
6:34 As Jesus came ashore he saw the large crowd and he had compassion on them , because they were like sheep without a shepherd . So he taught them many things .
6:35 When it was already late , his disciples came to him and said , “This is an isolated place and it is already very late .
6:36 Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy something for themselves to eat .”
6:37 But he answered answered them , “You give them something to eat .” And they said , “Should we go and buy bread for two hundred silver coins and give it to them to eat ?”
6:38 He said to them , “How many loaves do you have ? Go and see .” When they found out , they said , “Five – and two fish .”
6:39 Then he directed them all to sit down in groups on the green grass .
6:40 So they reclined in groups of hundreds and fifties .
6:41 He took the five loaves and the two fish , and looking up to heaven , he gave thanks and broke the loaves . He gave them to his disciples to serve the people , and he divided the two fish among them all .
6:42 They all ate and were satisfied ,
6:43 and they picked up the broken pieces and fish that were left over, twelve baskets full .
6:44 Now there were five thousand men who ate the bread .
