The Twelve Return, And Jesus Retires With
Them Across The Lake. Five Thousand Are
Fed
64. Luke 9:10-17
10 And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all
that they had done. And he took them, and went aside
privately into a desert place belonging to the city called
Bethsaida. 11 And the people, when they knew it, followed
him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the
kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12 And when the day began to wear away, then came the
twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that
they may go into the towns and country round about, and
lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. 13
But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said,
We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we
should go and buy meat for all this people. 14 For they were
about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make
them sit down by fifties in a company. 15 And they did so,
and made them all sit down. 16 Then he took the five loaves
and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed
them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the
multitude. 17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there
was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve
baskets.
