Gospel: Matthew 14:13-21 (NRSV)
Jesus withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by
himself. But when the crowds heard it,
they followed him on foot from the towns. When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and
he had compassion for them and cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came to him
and said, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the
crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for
themselves." Jesus said to them,
"They need not go away; you give them something to eat." They replied, "We have nothing here but
five loaves and two fish." And he
said, "Bring them here to me." Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the
grass. Taking the five loaves and the
two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave
them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were filled; and they took up
what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. And those who ate were about five thousand
men, besides women and children.
