37 But He answered them, "You give them something to eat!" aAnd they said to Him, "Shall we go and spend two hundred bdenarii on bread and give them something to eat?"

38 And He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go look!" And when they found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."

39 And He commanded them all to sit down by groups on the green grass.

40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties.

41 And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He ablessed the food and broke the loaves and He kept giving them to the disciples to set before them; and He divided up the two fish among them all.

42 They all ate and were satisfied,

43 and they picked up twelve full abaskets of the broken pieces, and also of the fish.

44 There were afive thousand men who ate the loaves.
