Matthew 14:13-15

New Testament for Everyone

The feeding of the five thousand

¹³ When Jesus heard it, he went away from there in a boat to a deserted spot by himself. The crowds heard about it, and they followed him on foot from the towns. ¹⁴ When he came out and saw the large crowd, he was sorry for them. He healed their sick.

¹⁵ When it was evening, the disciples came to him.

“This is a deserted spot,” they said, “and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
