New Testament

Matthew 14:12-18 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. And his disciples approached and took the body, and they buried it. And arriving, they reported it to Jesus.

13. When Jesus had heard it, he withdrew from there by boat, to a deserted place by himself. And when the crowds had heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.

14. And going out, he saw a great multitude, and he took pity on them, and he cured their sick.

15. And when evening had arrived, his disciples approached him, saying: "This is a deserted place, and the hour has now passed. Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the towns, they may buy food for themselves."

16. But Jesus said to them: "They have no need to go. Give them something to eat yourselves."

17. They answered him, "We have nothing here, except five loaves and two fish."

18. He said to them, "Bring them here to me."
