Matthew 14:13-21

¹³Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard about this, they followed Him on foot from the cities. ¹⁴When He came ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.

¹⁵Now when it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is secluded and the hour is already past to eat; send the crowds away, so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” ¹⁶But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go; you give them something to eat!” ¹⁷They *said to Him, “We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.” ¹⁸And He said, “Bring them here to Me.” ¹⁹And ordering the crowds to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked up toward heaven. He blessed the food and breaking the loaves, He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. ²⁰And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces: twelve full baskets. ²¹There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.
