34. And having gone out, יהושע saw a large crowd and was moved with compassion for them because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. And He began to teach them many matters.
35. And as the hour grew late, His taught ones came to Him and said, “This is a lonely place, and now the hour is late.
36. “Send them away, so that they go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves bread, since they have no food to eat.”
37. But He answering, said to them, “You give them to eat.” And they said to Him, “Should we go and buy two hundred silver pieces worth of bread and give them to eat?”
38. Then He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they found out they said, “Five, and two fishes.”
39. And He ordered them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.
40. And they sat down in groups, in hundreds and in fifties.
41. And taking the five loaves and the two fishes, looking up to the heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His taught ones to set before them. And the two fishes He divided among them all.
42. And all ate and were satisfied.
43. And they picked up twelve baskets, filled with pieces, also from the fishes.
44. Now those who ate the loaves were about five thousand men.
