The apostles gathered around Jesus, and told him all that they had accomplished and taught.

He said to them: "Come away to a Wilderness place all by yourselves and recline for a while. "For many were coming and going, and they had no good time even to eat.

And they departed in the boat to a Wilderness place alone.

Now many perceived them going away and understood, and they hurried there on foot together from all the towns and arrived in front of them.

Having descended, he recognised a great crowd; and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.

And already the great hour was coming into existence, his students approached him and said: "This is a Wilderness place, and the hour is now very great.

Release them so that they may depart and encircle the fields and villages and buy for themselves to eat."

But he answered them saying: "You give yourselves to eat." And they asked him: "Are we to go and buy 200 denarii of bread, and give them to eat?"

He said to them: "How many loaves have you? Go and perceive and understand." And when they understood, they said: "5, and 2 fish."

And he ordered them all to recline in Symposiums - 2 by 2 - over the green grass.

And they reclined in Garden Parties corresponding to 100s' and corresponding to 50s'.

Taking the 5 loaves and the 2 fish, he looked up to heaven, praised and broke into pieces the loaves, and gave his students to set before them; and the 2 fish divided to all.

And all ate and were satisfied and took up 12 caskets fulfilled of broken pieces and of the fish.

And those who had eaten - 5000 men.
