13 When Jesus had heard it, he withdrew from there by boat, to a deserted place by himself. And when the crowds had heard of it, they followed him on foot from the cities.
14 And going out, he saw a great multitude, and he took pity on them, and he cured their sick.
15 And when evening had arrived, his disciples approached him, saying: 'This is a deserted place, and the hour has now passed. Dismiss the crowds, so that, by going into the towns, they may buy food for themselves.'
16 But Jesus said to them: 'They have no need to go. Give them something to eat yourselves.'
17 They answered him, 'We have nothing here, except five loaves and two fish.'
