Luke 9:14 in Context — Luke 9

12 Comme le jour commençait à baisser, les douze s’approchèrent, et lui dirent: Renvoie la foule, afin qu’elle aille dans les villages et dans les campagnes des environs, pour se loger et pour trouver des vivres; car nous sommes ici dans un lieu désert.

13 Jésus leur dit: Donnez-leur vous-mêmes à manger. Mais ils répondirent: Nous n’avons que cinq pains et deux poissons, à moins que nous n’allions nous-mêmes acheter des vivres pour tout ce peuple.

14 Or, il y avait environ cinq mille hommes. Jésus dit à ses disciples: Faites-les asseoir par rangées de cinquante.

15 Ils firent ainsi, ils les firent tous asseoir.

16 Jésus prit les cinq pains et les deux poissons, et, levant les yeux vers le ciel, il les bénit. Puis, il les rompit, et les donna aux disciples, afin qu’ils les distribuassent à la foule.
