Mark 6:30-44
Wycliffe Bible
30 And the apostles came together to Jesus, and told to him all things, that they had done, and taught. [And the apostles coming together to Jesus, told him all things, that they had done, and taught.]
31 And he said to them, Come ye by yourselves into a desert place; and rest ye a little. For there were many that came, and went again, and they had not space [for] to eat.
32 And they went into a boat, and went into a desert place by themselves.
33 And they saw them go away [And they saw them going away], and many knew, and they went afoot from all cities, and ran [together] thither, and came before them.
34 And Jesus went out, and saw much people, and had ruth on them [And Jesus going out saw much people, and had mercy on them], for they were as sheep not having a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
35 And when it was late in the day, his disciples came to him, and said, This is a desert place, and the time is now passed [and now the hour hath passed];
36 let them go into the next towns and villages, to buy them(selves) meat to eat. [leave them, that they going into the next towns and villages, buy to them meats that they shall eat.]
37 And he answered, and said to them, Give ye them to eat [Give ye to them for to eat]. And they said to him, Go we, and buy we loaves with two hundred pence, and we shall give them [for] to eat.
38 And he saith to them, How many loaves have ye? Go ye, and see. And when they had known, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39 And he commanded to them, that they should make all men sit to meat by companies, on [the] green hay[a].
40 And they sat down by parts [And they sat down by parties], by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 And when he had taken the five loaves, and two fishes, he beheld into heaven, and blessed, and brake [the] loaves, and gave to his disciples, that they should set before them. And he parted two fishes to all;
42 and all ate, and were fulfilled. [and all men ate, and were filled.]
43 And they took the remnants of broken meats, twelve baskets full [And they took the reliefs of broken meat, twelve coffins full], and of the fishes.
44 And they that ate, were five thousand of men.

New Matthew Bible
30 And the apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus and told him all things, both what they had done and what they had taught. 31 And he said to them, Come apart into the countryside and rest awhile. For there were so many comers and goers that they had no time so much as to eat. 32 And they went by boat out of the way into an isolated place.
33 But the people noticed them when they departed, and many recognized him. And they ran there by foot out of all the towns and got there before them, and came together to him. 34 And Jesus went out and saw the crowds of people, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.
35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came to him, saying, This is an isolated place, and now the day is far gone. 36 Let the people depart so that they can go into the country round about and into the towns and buy themselves bread, for they have nothing to eat. 37 He answered and said to them, You give them to eat. And they said to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them to eat? 38 He said to them, How many loaves do you have? Go and look. And when they had searched, they said, Five, and two fishes.
39 And Jesus directed them to make all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 And they sat down here a row and there a row, by hundreds and by fifties. 41 And he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to put before the people. And he divided the two fishes among them all. 42 And they all did eat and were satisfied. 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments and of the fishes. 44 And those who ate were about 5,000 men.

1599 Geneva Bible
30 ¶ (A)And the Apostles gathered themselves together to Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
31 [a]And he said unto them, Come ye apart into the wilderness, and rest a while: for there were many comers and goers, that they had not leisure to eat.
32 (B)So they went by ship out of the way into a desert place.
33 But the people saw them when they departed, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and came thither before them, and assembled unto him.
34 (C)Then Jesus went out, and saw a great multitude, and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep which had no shepherd: (D)and he began to teach them many things.
35 (E)And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, saying, This is a desert place, and now the day is far passed.
36 Let them depart, that they may go into the country and towns about, and buy them bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37 But he answered, and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said unto him, [b]Shall we go, and buy [c]two hundred pennies worth of bread, and give them to eat?
38 (F)Then he said unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and look. And when they knew it, they said, Five, and two fishes.
39 So he commanded them to make them all sit down by [d]companies upon the green grass.
40 Then they sat down by [e]rows, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41 And he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and gave thanks, and broke the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them, and the two fishes he divided among them all.
42 So they did all eat, and were satisfied.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44 And they that had eaten, were about five thousand men.

Authorized (King James) Version
30 And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately. 33 And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him. 34 And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things. 35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed: 36 send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat. 37 He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat? 38 He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes. 39 And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass. 40 And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties. 41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all. 42 And they did all eat, and were filled. 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes. 44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.
