“ How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible for you, Bethsaida! Suppose the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon. They would have turned away from their sins long ago. They would have put on clothes for mourning. They would have sat down in ashes.

Jesus heard what had happened to John. He wanted to be alone. So he went in a boat to a quiet place. The crowds heard about this. They followed him on foot from the towns.When Jesus came ashore, he saw a large crowd. He felt deep concern for them. He healed their sick people.When it was almost evening, the disciples came to him.“ There is nothing here,” they said.“ It’s already getting late. Send the crowds away. They can go and buy some food in the villages.”Jesus replied,“ They don’t need to go away. You give them something to eat.”“ We have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.“ Bring them here to me,” he said.Then Jesus directed the people to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and gave thanks. He broke the loaves into pieces. Then he gave them to the disciples. And the disciples gave them to the people.All of them ate and were satisfied. The disciples picked up 12 baskets of leftover pieces.The number of men who ate was about 5,000. Women and children also ate.

The 72 returned with joy. They said,“ Lord, even the demons obey us when we speak in your name.”

Then the man standing among the myrtle trees spoke. He said,“ They are the messengers the Lord has sent out. He told them to go all through the earth.”

“ Why is this fellow talking like that? He’s saying a very evil thing! Only God can forgive sins!”

The apostles gathered around Jesus. They told him all they had done and taught.But many people were coming and going. So they did not even have a chance to eat. Then Jesus said to his apostles,“ Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place. You need to get some rest.”So they went away by themselves in a boat to a quiet place.But many people who saw them leaving recognized them. They ran from all the towns and got there ahead of them.When Jesus came ashore, he saw a large crowd. He felt deep concern for them. They were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.By that time it was late in the day. His disciples came to him.“ There is nothing here,” they said.“ It’s already very late.Send the people away. Then they can go to the nearby countryside and villages to buy something to eat.”But Jesus answered,“ You give them something to eat.” They said to him,“ That would take more than half a year’s pay! Should we go and spend that much on bread? Are we supposed to feed them?”“ How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.“ Go and see.” When they found out, they said,“ Five loaves and two fish.”Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass.So they sat down in groups of 100s and 50s.Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and gave thanks. He broke the loaves into pieces. Then he gave them to his disciples to pass around to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.All of them ate and were satisfied.The disciples picked up 12 baskets of broken pieces of bread and fish.The number of men who had eaten was 5,000.Right away Jesus made his disciples get into the boat. He had them go on ahead of him to Bethsaida. Then he sent the crowd away.

The disciples returned. They told Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him. They went off by themselves to a town called Bethsaida.But the crowds learned about it and followed Jesus. He welcomed them and spoke to them about God’s kingdom. He also healed those who needed to be healed.Late in the afternoon the 12 disciples came to him. They said,“ Send the crowd away. They can go to the nearby villages and countryside. There they can find food and a place to stay. There is nothing here.”Jesus replied,“ You give them something to eat.” The disciples answered,“ We have only five loaves of bread and two fish. We would have to go and buy food for all this crowd.”About 5,000 men were there. But Jesus said to his disciples,“ Have them sit down in groups of about 50 each.”The disciples did so, and everyone sat down.Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and gave thanks. He broke them into pieces. Then he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.All of them ate and were satisfied. The disciples picked up 12 baskets of leftover pieces.

Philip was from the town of Bethsaida. So were Andrew and Peter.

Trust in your leaders. Put yourselves under their authority. Do this, because they keep watch over you. They know they are accountable to God for everything they do. Do this, so that their work will be a joy. If you make their work a heavy load, it won’t do you any good.

Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him. So he said to Philip,“ Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”He asked this only to test Philip. He already knew what he was going to do.Philip answered him,“ Suppose we were able to buy enough bread for each person to have just a bite. That would take more than half a year’s pay!”Another of his disciples spoke up. It was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He said,“ Here is a boy with five small loaves of barley bread. He also has two small fish. But how far will that go in such a large crowd?”Jesus said,“ Have the people sit down.” There was plenty of grass in that place, and they sat down. About 5,000 men were there.Then Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks. He handed out the bread to those who were seated. He gave them as much as they wanted. And he did the same with the fish.When all of them had enough to eat, Jesus spoke to his disciples.“ Gather the leftover pieces,” he said.“ Don’t waste anything.”So they gathered what was left over from the five barley loaves. They filled 12 baskets with the pieces left by those who had eaten.
