35 And now many an hour having come to pass, his disciples having come to him, they say, The place is desolate, and it is now many an hour.

36 Send them away, so that after going into the fields and villages around, they may buy loaves for themselves, for they do not have what they may eat.

37 But having answered, he said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, After departing, shall we buy loaves of two hundred denarii, and give them to eat?

38 And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? Go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.

39 And he commanded them to sit down, all by companies upon the green grass.

40 And they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

41 And after taking the five loaves and the two fishes, having looked up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves in pieces, and he gave to the disciples so that they might set before them. And he distributed the two fishes to them

42 And they all ate, and were filled.

43 And they took up fragments, twelve baskets full, and from the fishes.

44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.
