10 When the twelve apprentices returned back to Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus), they reported back to him everything they’d done. Then he took them to the town of Beyt-Tsayda for some private time, 11 but the crowds saw where he went and followed after them, so he welcomed them and taught them about God’s kingdom as well as healing those who needed it.

12 As the day was coming to an end, the twelve approached him and said, “Send the crowd away so that they can go into the nearby towns and countryside to find somewhere to stay and something to eat, because this place is very isolated.”

13 But Yeshua told them, “You all give them something to eat.”

“We don’t have anything more than just five breadrolls and two fish, unless we go and buy some food for all these people.” 14 There were about 5,000 men (not counting women and children).

Then he told his apprentices, “Sit them down in rows of about fifty each.” 15 So they did that and everyone sat down. 16 Then Yeshua took the five breadrolls and the two fish and looking up to the sky, he blessed them and broke them into pieces to give to the apprentices to distribute to the crowd. 17 Everyone ate until they were satisfied, and then twelve baskets of leftover pieces were collected up afterwards.
