BIBLE TEXT REFERENCED Mark 6 FEEDING 5000 30 Then the apostles gathered to Jesus and
told Him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught. 31 And He said to them, "Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while." For
there were many coming and going, and they did not
even have time to eat. 32 So they departed to a deserted place in the
boat by themselves. 33 But the multitudes saw them departing, and many knew Him and ran there on foot from all
the cities. They arrived before them and came together to Him. 34 And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great
multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep
not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things. 35 When the day was now far spent, His
disciples came to Him and said, "This is a deserted place, and already the
hour is late. 36 "Send them away, that they may go into
the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread; for they have
nothing to eat." 37 But He answered and said to 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 them
something to eat?" 38 But He said to them, "How many loaves
do you have? Go and see." And when they found out they said, "Five,
and two fish." 39 Then He commanded them to make them all sit
down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in ranks, in hundreds and
in fifties. 41 And when He had taken the five loaves and
the two fish, He looked up to heaven, blessed and broke the loaves, and gave
them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among
them all. 42 So they all ate and were filled. 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of
fragments and of the fish. 44 Now those who had eaten the loaves were
about five thousand men. (NKJV) Luke 9
10 And the apostles, when they had returned,
told Him all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately
into a deserted place belonging to the city called 11 But when the
multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them
about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing. 12 When the day began to wear away, the twelve
came and said to Him, "Send the multitude away, that they may go into the
surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a
deserted place here." 13 But He said to them, "You give them
something to eat." And they said, "We have no more than five loaves
and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people." 14 For there were about five thousand men.
Then He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in groups of
fifty." 15 And they did so, and made them all sit
down. 16 Then He took the five loaves and the two
fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the
disciples to set before the multitude. 17 So they all ate and were filled, and twelve
baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them. (NKJV) |
