29. And his disciples having heard it, came and took up his body, and laid it in a tomb.
30. And the apostles are gathered together to Jesus. And they related to him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught.
31. And he said to them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest a little. For those coming and those going were many, and they had not leisure even to eat.
32. And they went away apart into a desert place by ship.
33. And many saw them going, and recognised them, and ran together there on foot, out of all the cities, and got there before them.
34. And on leaving the ship Jesus saw a great crowd, and he was moved with compassion for them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
35. And when it was already late in the day, his disciples coming to him say, The place is desert, and it is already late in the day;
36. send them away that they may go into the country and villages around, and buy themselves bread, for they have not anything they can eat.
37. And he answering said to them, Give ye them to eat. And they say to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread 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 ordered them to make them all sit down by companies on the green grass.
40. And they sat down in ranks by hundreds and by fifties.
41. And having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples that they might set them before them. And the two fishes he divided among all.
42. And they all ate and were satisfied.
43. And they took up of fragments the fillings of twelve hand-baskets, and of the fishes.
44. And those that ate of the loaves were five thousand men.
