Jesus said to his disciples, "Seat them in groups of about fifty." 15They did so,

Jesus called the Twelve together and and everyone was seated. 16He took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, blessed them, and broke them and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

He sent them out to proclaim God's kingdom and to heal the sick. 3He told them, "Take nothing for the journey-no walking stick, no bag, no bread, no money, not even an extra shirt. "Whatever house you enter, remain there until you leave that place. "Wherever they don't welcome you, as you leave that city, shake the dust off your feet as a witness against them." "They departed and went through the villages proclaiming the good news and healing people everywhere.
Herod's confusion
'Herod the ruler" heard about everything that was happening. He was confused because some people were saying that John had been raised from the dead, others that Elijah had appeared, and still others that one of the ancient prophets had come back to life. 'Herod said, "I beheaded John, so now who am I hearing about?" Herod wanted to see him.
Jesus feeds the five thousand
10When the apostles returned, they described for Jesus what they had done. Taking them with him, Jesus withdrew privately to a city called Bethsaida. "When the crowds figured it out, they followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about God's kingdom, and healed those who were sick.
12 When the day was almost over, the Twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away so that they can go to the nearby villages and countryside and find lodging and food, because we are in a deserted place."
