Feeding the Five Thousand

Wycliffe's Bible (Modern Spelling)

Mat 14:13–21

13 And when Jesus had heard this thing, he went from thence in a boat, into a desert place beside. And when the people had heard, they followed him on their feet from cities.
14 And Jesus went out, and saw a great people or a great multitude, and had ruth on them, and he healed the sick men of them.
15 But when eventide was come, his disciples came to him, and said, The place is desert, and the time is now passed; let the people go into towns, to buy them meat.
16 Jesus said to them, They have not need or no need to go; give ye them somewhat to eat.
17 They answered, We have not here, but five loaves and two fishes.
18 And he said to them, Bring ye them hither to me.
19 And when he had commanded the people to sit to the meat on the hay, he took five loaves and two fishes, and he beheld into heaven, and blessed, and brake, and gave loaves to his disciples; and the disciples gave to the people.
20 And all ate, and were fulfilled or filled. And they took the remnants of broken gobbets, twelve coffins full.
21 And the number of men that ate was five thousand of men, without women and little children.

Mrk 6:30–44

30 And the apostles came together to Jesus, and told to 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 them-selves.
33 And they saw them go 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 or 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;
36 let them go into the next towns and villages, to buy them meat to eat.
37 And he answered, and said to them, 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 to 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.
40 And they sat down by parts or 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 full-filled or fulfilled.
43 And they took the remnants of broken meats, twelve coffins full, and of the fishes.
44 And they that ate, were five thousand of men.

Luk 9:10–17

10 And the apostles turned again, and told to him all things that they had done. And he took them, and went beside into a desert place, that is called Bethsaida.
11 And when the people knew this, they followed him. And he received them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God; and he healed them that had need of cure.
12 And the day began to bow down, and the twelve came, and said to him, Leave the people, that they go, and turn into the castles and towns, that be about, that they find meat, for we be here in a desert place.
13 And he said to them, Give ye to them to eat. And they said, There be not to us more than five loaves and two fishes, but peradventure that we go, and buy meats to all this people or for all the company.
14 And the men were almost five thousand. And he said to his disciples, Make ye them to sit to meat by companies, a fifty together.
15 And they did so, and they made all men sit to or at the meat.
16 And when he had taken the five loaves and two fishes, he beheld into heaven, and blessed them, and brake, and dealed to his disciples, that they should set or put forth before the companies.
17 And all men ate, and were full-filled or were filled; and that that left to them of broken meats was taken up, twelve coffins.

1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, that is Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude pursued him; for they saw the tokens that he did on them that were sick.

5 Therefore when Jesus had lifted up his eyes, and had seen, that a great multitude came to him, he saith to Philip, Whereof shall we buy loaves, that these men eat?
6 But he said this thing, tempting him; for he knew what he was to do.
7 Philip answered to him, The loaves of two hundred pence suffice not to them, that each man take a little what.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him,
9 A child is here, that hath five barley loaves and two fishes; but what be these among so many?
10 Therefore Jesus saith, Make them sit to or at the meat. And there was much hay in the place. And so men sat to or at the meat, as five thousand in number.
11 And Jesus took the five loaves, and when he had done thankings, he parted to the men that sat at the meat, and also of the fishes, as much as they would.
12 And when they were full-filled or ful filled, he said to his disciples, Gather ye the remnants that be left, that they perish not.
13 And so they gathered, and filled twelve coffins, of the remnants of the five barley loaves and two fishes, that left to them that had eaten.
14 Therefore those men, when they had seen the sign or the token, or miracle, that he had done, said, For this is verily the prophet, that is to come into the world.
