Luke 9:12-17
9:12 Now the day began to draw to a close,
so
the twelve came and said to Jesus,
“Send the crowd away, so they can go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging
and food, because we are in an isolated place.”
9:13 But he said to them, “You
give them something to eat.” They
replied,
“We have no more than five loaves and two fish – unless
we go
and buy food
for all these people.”
9:14 (Now about five thousand men
were there.)
Then
he said to his disciples, “Have
them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
9:15 So they did as Jesus directed,
and the people
all sat down.
9:16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke them. He gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.
9:17 They all ate and were satisfied, and what was left over was picked up – twelve baskets of broken pieces.
