Mark 6:35-40 English Standard Version (ESV)

35. And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the hour is now late.

36. Send them away to go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

37. But he answered them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to him, “Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”

38. And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, “Five, and two fish.”

39. Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass.

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