14 (There were about five thousand men.) He told His disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”

15 They did so, and everyone was seated.

16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus spoke a blessing and broke them. Then He gave them to the disciples to set before the people.
