Eighth Sunday After Pentecost
Matthew 14:14-21 - As he went ashore he
saw a great throng; and he had compassion on them, and healed their sick. When
it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and
the day is now over; send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food
for themselves." Jesus said, "They need not go away; you give them something to
eat." They said to him, "We have only five loaves here and two fish." And he
said, "Bring them here to me." Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the
grass; and taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and
blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave
them to the crowds. And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve
baskets full of the broken pieces left over. And those who ate were about five
thousand men, besides women and children. (RSV) |
