Apostles returned and met Jesus Told him what they had done and taught so many people - Jesus &Disciples no time to eat  Jesus- "Let us go off by ourselves to some place where we will be alone and you can rest for a while" Started out in Boat- Lonely place People saw them leave- knew who. People went from towns - ran ahead by land - arrived ahead of Jesus.Jesus got out of the boat- large crowd - Heart filled with pity. (Human emotion)  They where like Sheep without a shepherd(Lost) Began to teach many things. Getting late- disciples came to him.  Said "It is already very late and this is a lonely place. Send the people away and let them go to nearby farms and villages in order to buy themselves something to eat"   "You yourselves give them something to eat" "Do you want us to go and spend two hundred silver coins on bread in order to feed them?" Jesus asked "How much bread have you got? Go and see"Found out & said " Five loaves & two fish"Told disciples to make people divide into groups - sit down - green grass sat in rows- groups of 100 and of 50 Jesus took loaves and fish - looked up to heaven and gave thanks to god. Broke loaves- disciples to distribute to people Dived fish among them all. Everyone ate enough  Disciples took up 12 baskets full off left overs (bread and fish) Number of men fed = 5000.
