15 In the evening the disciples came up to him, and said: " This is a lonely spot, and the day is now far advanced; send the crowds away, that they may go to the villages, and buy themselves food."
16 But Jesus said: "They need not go away, it is for you to give them something to eat."
17 "We have nothing here," they said, "except five loaves and two fishes."
18 "Bring them here to me," was his reply.
19 Jesus ordered the people to take their seats on the grass; and, taking the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to Heaven, and said the blessing, and, after he had broken the loaves, gave them to his disciples; and they gave them to the crowds.
20 Every one had sufficient to eat, and they picked up enough of the broken pieces that were left to fill twelve baskets.
21 The men who ate were about five thousand in number, without counting women and children.
