10 And the apostles returned, and told him what they had done; and he took them with him, and went away to a desolate place, near the city called Bethsaida.

11 And the people, when they knew him, went after him; and He, having received them, conversed with them about the Kingdom of God, and healed those who required healing.

12 And the day began to turn towards evening. And the twelve came to him, and said to him, Let the people go, that they may go to the villages and villages round about for the night, and get food. Because we are here in an empty place.

13 But he said to them, 'Give them something to eat.' They said, "We have not more than five loaves and two fishes; shall we go and buy food for all these people?

14 For they were about five thousand men. But he said to his disciples, Sit them in rows of fifty.

15 And they did so, and seated them all.

16 And he took five loaves and two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed them, and broke them, and gave them to the disciples, to distribute to the people.

17 And they ate, and they were all satisfied; and the pieces that remained with them were collected twelve boxes.

18 At one time, when he was praying in a lonely place, and the disciples were with him, he asked them, 'Whom do the people say I am?'

19 And they answered and said, 'For John the Baptist,' and some for Elijah; others say that one of the ancient prophets was resurrected.

20 And he asked them, 'And whom do you say that I am?' Peter answered, "For Christ of God."

21 But he strictly commanded them not to speak of these things to any man,

22 And having said that the Son of Man must suffer much, and be rejected by the elders, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise again on the third day.

23 And he said to all, 'If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.'
