15. So the followers did this and everyone sat down.
16. Then Jesus took the five loaves of bread and two fish. He looked up into the sky and thanked God for the food. Then he broke it into pieces, which he gave to the followers to give to the people.
17. They all ate until they were full. And there was a lot of food left. Twelve baskets were filled with the pieces of food that were not eaten.
18. One time Jesus was praying alone. His followers came together there, and he asked them, “Who do the people say I am?”
19. They answered, “Some people say you are John the Baptizer. Others say you are Elijah. And some people say you are one of the prophets from long ago that has come back to life.”
