Jesus Feeds More Than 5000

Late in the afternoon, the twelve apostles came to Jesus and said, “No one lives in this place. Send the people away.

They need to find food and places to sleep in the farms and towns around here.”

But Jesus said to the apostles, “You give them something to eat.”

They said, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish.

There were about 5000 men there.

Jesus said to his followers, “Tell the people to sit in groups of about 50 people.”

Then Jesus looked up into the sky and thanked God for the food.

Then he broke it into pieces, which he gave to the followers to give to the people. 

They all ate until they were full.

And there was a lot of food left.
