12 When the day began to decline, the twelve, accosting him, said, Dismiss the people, that they may go to the nearest towns and villages, and provide themselves lodging and food; for we are in a desert.

13 He answered, Supply them yourselves with food. They replied, We have only five loaves and two fishes; unless we go and buy victuals for all this people.

14 For they were about five thousand men. Then he said to his disciples, Make them recline in parties; fifty in a party.

15 And they did so, making them all recline.

16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes; and looking up to heaven, he blessed and broke them, and gave them to his disciples, to set before the multitudes.

17 And they all did eat and were satisfied; and took up twelve baskets full of fragments.
