15
When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves."
16
Jesus said to them, "They need not go away; you give them something to eat."
17
They replied, "We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish."
19
Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
20
And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
21
And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
