And they say to Him, shall we go and buy two hundred penny-worth of bread, and give them to eat? ³⁸ But He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they had examined, they said, Five, and two fishes. ³⁹ And He ordered them to cause all the people to sit down by companies upon the grass: ⁴⁰ and they sat down in an oblong square, an hundred by fifty. ⁴¹ And when He had taken the five loaves, and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven, and gave thanks; then He brake the loaves and gave them to his disciples, to set before them; the two fishes likewise He divided among them all. ⁴² And they did all eat and were fully satisfied. ⁴³ And they took up of the fragments of the bread, and of the fishes, twelve baskets full. ⁴⁴ And they that had eaten were about five thousand men.
