Jesus went by boat to a solitary place after crowds gathered to hear him teach. However, people saw where he was going and followed by land. Jesus healed the sick among the crowds. When evening came, Jesus' disciples urged him to send the people away to find food. But Jesus told his disciples to feed the people. The disciples protested that all they had was five loaves of bread and two fish, not enough for the large crowd. Jesus blessed the food and had it passed out. Miraculously, everyone ate their fill and leftovers filled twelve baskets.
