[17] They told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish." [18] He said, "Bring them here to me." [19] He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the multitudes. [20] They all ate, and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces. [21] Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
