15 When it became evening, the disciples came to Him and said, “This place is deserted and it is getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go into the towns and buy food [for their supper].”
16 But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away; you men give them [something] to eat.”
17 And they replied, “But we have here [only] five loaves of [barley] bread [See John 6:9] and two [probably smoked] fish.”
18 And He said, “Bring the bread and fish here to me.”
19 He ordered the crowds to recline on the grass. Then He took the five loaves of bread and two fish and, looking up to heaven, asked God’s blessing on the food, broke it [in pieces], then gave it to the disciples to distribute to the crowds.
20 They all ate until they were full, then gathered up twelve baskets full of the remaining broken pieces.
21 Those eating numbered about five thousand men, in addition to the women and children.
