Matthew 14:13-21 NIV\nWhen Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, \u201cThis is a remote place, and it\u2019s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.\u201d Jesus replied, \u201cThey do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.\u201d \u201cWe have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,\u201d they answered. \u201cBring them here to me,\u201d he said. And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
