Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away. (Matthew 14:22)

“When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is desolate and the hour is already late; so send the crowds away, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away; you give them something to eat!” They said to Him, “We have here only five loaves and two fish.” And He said, “Bring them here to Me.”” (Matthew 14:15–18, NASB95)

All rivers have a starting point where the water begins its flow. This source is called a headwater. The headwater can come from rainfall or snowmelt in the mountains, but it can also bubble up from groundwater or form at the edge of a lake or large pond.
