When even was come, his disciples came to him saying: This is a desert place, and the day is spent, let the people depart that they may go in to the towns, and buy them vitailles.
¶ Iesus called his disciples to him and said: I have compassion on the people, because they have continued with me now iij days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not let them depart fasting lest they perish in the way.
Then said he unto them: Give ye them to eat. And they said: We have no more but five loaves and two fishes, except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
