14:13-24 On hearing it Jesus left from there
in a boat to a desert place privately.
And hearing this the crowds followed him by foot from the
cities. And going forth he saw a
great crowd and was filled with
tenderness for them and he healed their sick. Now evening was coming
on and his (Jesus’) disciples
approached him saying "We are
in a desert place and it is now late.
Dismiss the crowds so that they can go away into the villages and
buy food for themselves." But
Jesus said to them. "They do
not need to go away. You give them
something to eat." But they say
to him “We do not have food here except for five loaves and two fish.” And he said “Bring them to me here.” And
having told the crowds to sit down on the grass, he took the five loaves
and the two fish and

looking
up to heaven he blessed these and breaking them gave the loaves to the
disciples and the disciples gave these to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied. then they picked up the leftovers and
there were twelve full baskets. The
people who were eating consisted of about five thousand men apart from the
women and children. Immediately he
told the disciples to to off in the boat before him to the other side and
he would dismiss the crowds. And
having dismissed the crowds he went up into the mountain privately to pray.
When evening came on (same time
frame as above) he was there alone.
But the boat was now many furlongs away and it was being battered by
the waves for the wind was blowing
against them.
