  • Matt 14:13-21 : 13 When Jesus heard about this, He withdrew from there by boat to a solitary place. Yet the crowds, hearing of this, followed Him on foot from the towns. 14 When He stepped ashore and saw the great crowd, He was moved with compassion for them and healed their sick. 15 When it was evening, the disciples came to Him and said, 'This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.' 16 But Jesus replied, 'They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.' 17 They said to Him, 'We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.' 18 Jesus said, 'Bring them here to me.' 19 Then He instructed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, He looked up to heaven, gave thanks, and broke the loaves. He then gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples collected twelve baskets full of leftover pieces. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

There was plenty of grass in the place, so the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11 Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks, he distributed them to those who were reclining, and likewise the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 When they were full, he said to his disciples, 'Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing is wasted.' 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with pieces left over from the five barley loaves, which were more than enough for those who had eaten.
