12 When it was late in the day, the twelve disciples came to him. They said, Send the people away so they can go to the towns and the farms to sleep and get something to eat. This is a lonely place.
13 But Jesus said to them, You give them food to eat. They said, All we have is five loaves of bread and two fish. Shall we go and buy food for all these people?
14 There were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, Tell the people to sit down in groups of fifty.
15 They did what he said, and they made all the people sit down.
16 He took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and thanked God for them. Then he broke the bread. He gave it to the disciples to give to the people.
17 They all ate and had enough. They picked up twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.
