Mark 6:40-47 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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 blessed 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 baskets of the broken pieces, and also of the fish.

44. There were five thousand men who ate the loaves.

45. Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side to Bethsaida, while He Himself was sending the crowd away.

46. After bidding them farewell, He left for the mountain to pray.

47. When it was evening, the boat was in the middle of the sea, and He was alone on the land.
