Feeding the
Four Thousand

12 And his disciples came and took the body (of John the Baptist) and buried it; and they went and told Jesus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

30 The apostles returned to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught.

10a On their return the apostles told him what they had done.

 

 

 

13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a lonely place apart

31 And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. 32 And they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves.

10b And he took them and withdrew apart to a city called Beth-sa'ida.

Note:  Luke contradicts himself later in 9:12b

 

"for we are here in a lonely place."

A city is not a "lonely place."

 

 

But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns

33 Now many saw them going, and knew them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns, and got there ahead of them.

11 When the crowds learned it, they followed him

 

 

14 As he went ashore he saw a great throng;

34 As he went ashore he saw a great throng,

 

 

1 In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered

 

 

 

 

and they had nothing to eat,

 

 

 

32 Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said,

he called his disciples to him, and said to them,

and he had compassion on them,

 

and he had compassion on them,

 

"I have compassion on the crowd,

2 "I have compassion on the crowd,

 

 

 

 

 

 

because they were like sheep without a shepherd;

 

because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;

because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God,

 

 

 

and he began to teach them many things.

 

 

 

and healed their sick.

 

 

and cured those who had need of healing

 

 

15 When it was evening,

35 And when it grew late,

12 Now the day began to wear away;

 

 

the disciples came to him and said,

his disciples came to him and said,

and the twelve came and said to him,

 

 

"This is a lonely place,

"This is a lonely place,

 

 

 

and the day is now over;

and the hour is now late

 

 

 

send the crowds away to go into the villages

36 send them away, to go into the country and villages round about

"Send the crowd away, to go into the villages and country round about,

 

 

 

 

to lodge

 

 

and buy food for themselves."

and buy themselves something to eat."

and get provisions;

 

 

 

 

for we are here in a lonely place."

 

This contradicts 9:10b

 

 

16 Jesus said, "They need not go away; you give them something to eat."

 

37 But he answered them, "You give them something to eat."

13 But he said to them, "You give them something to eat."

 

 

 

 

 

 

and I am unwilling to send them away hungry,

3 and if I send them away hungry

 

 

 

 

to their homes,

 

 

 

lest they faint on the way."

they will faint on the way;

 

 

 

 

and some of them have come a long way.

 

 

 

33 And the disciples said to him, "Where are we to get bread enough in the desert to feed so great a crowd?"

 

4 And his disciples answered him, "How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?"

17 They said to him, "We have only five loaves here and two fish."

 

They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish

34 And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."

 

 

And they said to him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?"

--unless we are to go and buy food for all these people."

 

 

 

38 And he said to them, "How many loaves have you?

 

 

5 And he asked them, "How many loaves have you?"

 

Go and see." And when they had found out,

 

 

 

 

they said, "Five, and two fish."

 

 

They said, "Seven."

18 And he said, "Bring them here to me."

 

 

 

 

 

 

14 For there were about five thousand men.

 

 

19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass;

39 Then he commanded them all to sit down

And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down

35 And commanding the crowd to sit down

6 And he commanded the crowd to sit down

15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.

to the disciples to set before the people;

them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.

 

and he divided the two fish among them all.

 

 

7 And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

20 And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

 

21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

42 And they all ate and were satisfied.

 

43 And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.

 

44 And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.

 

45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go before him to the other side, to Beth-sa'ida, while he dismissed the crowd.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

17 And all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

37 And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

 

38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

 

39 And sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Mag'adan.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.

 

9 And there were about four thousand people.

 

10 And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanu'tha
