We have here only five loaves of bread and two
fish,” they answered.
“Bring them here to me,” he said. And he direct-
ed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking
the five loaves and the two fish and looking up
to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.
Then he gave them to the disciples, and the dis-
ciples gave them to the people. They all ate and
were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve
basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
The number of those who ate was about five
thousand men, besides women and children
