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.

They replied, 'We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we go and buy food for all these people.' 14 For about five thousand men were there. But he said to his disciples, 'Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.' 15 So they did as instructed and had them all sit down. 16 Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the crowd. 17 They all ate and were satisfied, and the leftovers were gathered—twelve baskets of broken pieces.
  • John 6:5-9 : 5 When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, 'Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?' 6 He said this to test him, for he already knew what he was going to do. 7 Philip answered him, 'Two hundred denarii worth of bread wouldn’t be enough for everyone to have even a little.' 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 'There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they for so many people?' 10 Jesus said, 'Have the people sit down.' 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. 14 When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, 'This truly is the Prophet who is to come into the world.' 15 Knowing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
