## Matthew 14:19-20 in Context (Verses 16–23 KJV)
 
 [16 ](/kjv/matthew/14/16) But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/matthew/14/17) And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/matthew/14/18) He said, Bring them hither to me.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/matthew/14/19) And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to *his* disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/matthew/14/20) And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/matthew/14/21) And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.
 
 [22 ](/kjv/matthew/14/22) ¶ And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/matthew/14/23) And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.
