Mat 14:13 When Jesus heard what happened to John, he left in a boat. He went alone to a place where no one lived. But the people heard that Jesus had left. So they left their towns and followed him. They went by land to the same place he went.
Mat 14:14 When Jesus got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd of people. He felt sorry for them, and he healed the ones who were sick.
Mat 14:15 Late that afternoon, the followers came to Jesus and said, "No one lives in this place. And it is already late. Send the people away so they can go to the towns and buy food for themselves."
Mat 14:16 Jesus said, "The people don't need to go away. You give them some food to eat."
Mat 14:17 The followers answered, "But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish."
Mat 14:18 Jesus said, "Bring the bread and the fish to me."
Mat 14:19 Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked into the sky and thanked God for the food. Then he broke the bread into pieces, which he gave to the followers, and they gave the food to the people.
Mat 14:20 Everyone ate until they were full. When they finished eating, the followers filled twelve baskets with the pieces of food that were not eaten.
Mat 14:21 There were about 5000 men there who ate. There were also women and children who ate.
