Mark 6:34-44
34 “When Jesus saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them so he began teaching them. 35 By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came and said, ‘This is a remote place. 36 Send the people away so they can go and buy something to eat.’ 37 But Jesus answered, ‘You give them something to eat!’ They said, ‘That would take eight months of a man’s wages!’” 38 “How many loaves do you have?’ Jesus asked, ‘Go and see.’ When they found out, they said, `Five small loaves of bread and two fish.’” 39 Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 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 his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44 The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.
