Five Thousand Men Fed

Now when Jesus heard about John, He withdrew from there in a boat to a secluded place by Himself; and when the people heard about this, they followed Him on foot from the cities.

They *said to Him, “We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.”

And ordering the crowds to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looked up toward heaven. He blessed the food and breaking the loaves, He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.

Do you not yet understand nor remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets you picked up?

Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.

To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey.

The one who had received the five talents immediately went and did business with them, and earned five more talents.

The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have earned five more talents.’
