This is VLX number 91. Jesus feeds 5,000. This is Matthew chapter 14, verses 13 through 21.

God give you his peace. And nomi patri, Sifidi, it's bittyu, Santi, amen.

God, O Lord, we ask the grace that all of our intentions, actions, and operations be directed purely to the service and praise of your divine majesty.

And no many patri Sifidi, it it's bidi to Santi. Amen.

Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself.

But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.

When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd.

And he had compassion on them and healed their sick. Now when it was

evening, the disciples came to him and said, this is a desolate place and the day is now over.

Send the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves. But Jesus said,

They need not go away. You give them something to eat. They said to him, we have only

five loaves here and two fish. And he said, bring them here to me. Then he ordered the crowds to

sit down on the grass and taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven

and said a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to theaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing, then he broke

the loaves and gave them to the disciples and the disciples gave them to the crowds, and they

all ate and were satisfied.

And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over, and those who ate

were about five thousand men besides women and children.

Thus are the words of the Holy Gospel.

Okay, so let's look at the first verse today.

Now, when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a desolate place by himself.

Okay, what did he hear?
