Send the crowds away so that they can go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16 But he replied,“They don’t need to go. You give them something to eat.” 17 They said to him,“We have here only five loaves and two fish.” 18 “Bring them here to me,” he replied. 19 Then he instructed the crowds to sit down on the grass.

So he taught them many things. 35 When it was already late, his disciples came to him and said,“This is an isolated place and it is already very late. 36 Send them away so that they can go into the surrounding countryside and villages and buy something for themselves to eat.” 37 But he answered them,“You give them something to eat.” And they said,“Should we go and buy bread for two hundred silver coins and give it to them to eat?” 38 He said to them,“How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” When they found out, they said,“Five– and two fish.” 39 Then he directed them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they reclined in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. He gave them to his disciples to serve the people, and he divided the two fish among them all. 42 They all ate and were satisfied, 43 and they picked up the broken pieces and fish that were left over, twelve baskets full. 44 Now there were five thousand men who ate the bread. 45 Walking on Water Immediately Jesus made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dispersed the crowd.

Then he said to his disciples,“Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 So they did as Jesus directed, and the people all sat down. 16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he gave thanks and broke them.
