"There is a boy here who has five loaves of barley bread and two fish.
But they will certainly not be enough for all these people."
"Make the people sit down," Jesus told them.
(There was a lot of grass there.)
So all the people sat down; there were about five thousand men.
Jesus took the bead, gave thanks to God,
and distributed it to the people who were sitting there.
He did the same with the fish, and they all had as much as they wanted.
When they were all full, he said to his disciples,
"Gather the pieces left over; let us not waste a bit."
So they gathered them all and filled twelve basckets
with pieces left over from the five barley loaves which the people had eaten.
