Mark 6

32 aThey went away in bthe boat to a secluded place by themselves.
33 The people saw them going, and many recognized them and ran there together on foot from all the cities, and got there ahead of them.
34 When Jesus went ashore, He asaw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because bthey were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things.
35 When it was already quite late, His disciples came to Him and said, "This place is desolate and it is already quite late;
36 send them away so that they may go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
37 But He answered them, "You give them something to eat!" aAnd they said to Him, "Shall we go and spend two hundred bdenarii on bread and give them something to eat?"
38 And He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go look!" And when they found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."
39 And He commanded them all to sit down by groups on the green grass.
40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties.
41 And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He ablessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them; and He divided up the two fish among them all.
42 They all ate and were satisfied,
43 and they picked up twelve full abaskets of the broken pieces, and also of the fish.
44 There were afive thousand men who ate the loaves.

Luke 9

10 aWhen the apostles returned, they gave an account to Him of all that they had done. bTaking them with Him, He withdrew by Himself to a city called cBethsaida.
11 But the crowds were aware of this and followed Him; and welcoming them, He began speaking to them about the kingdom of God and curing those who had need of healing.
12 Now the day was ending, and the twelve came and said to Him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get something to eat; for here we are in a desolate place."
13 But He said to them, "You give them something to eat!" And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and buy food for all these people."
14 (For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, "Have them sit down to eat ain groups of about fifty each."
15 They did so, and had them all sit down.
16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them, and broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the people.
17 And they all ate and were satisfied; and the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve abaskets full.

John 6

1 After these things aJesus went away to the other side of bthe Sea of Galilee (or cTiberias).
2 A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the asigns which He was performing on those who were sick.
3 Then aJesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.
4 Now athe Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
5 Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, said to aPhilip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?"
6 This He was saying to atest him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.
7 aPhilip answered Him, "bTwo hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little."
8 One of His adisciples, bAndrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
9 "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two afish, but what are these for so many people?"
10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was amuch grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about bfive thousand.
11 Jesus then took the loaves, and ahaving given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the bfish as much as they wanted.
12 When they were filled, He said to His adisciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost."
13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve abaskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

Matthew 15

32 aAnd Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "bI feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way."
33 The disciples said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?"
34 And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish."
35 And He directed the people to sit down on the ground;
36 and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and agiving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
37 And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large abaskets full.
38 And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
