But Jesus said: "They need not go away, it is for you to give them something to eat."
In the evening the disciples came up to him, and said: " This is a lonely spot, and the day is now far advanced; send the crowds away, that they may go to the villages, and buy themselves food."
"We have nothing here," they said, "except five loaves and two fishes."
"Let the man who has two coats," answered John, "share with him who has none; and the man who has food do the same."
Some thought that, as Judas kept the purse, Jesus meant that he was to buy some things needed for the Festival, or to give something to the poor.
