New International Reader's Version

Luke 9:16-20 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

16. Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and gave thanks. He broke them into pieces. Then he gave them to the disciples to set in front of the people.

17. All of them ate and were satisfied. The disciples picked up 12 baskets of leftover pieces.

18. One day Jesus was praying alone. Only his disciples were with him. He asked them, "Who do the crowds say I am?"

19. They replied, "Some say John the Baptist. Others say Elijah. Still others say that one of the prophets of long ago has come back to life."

20. "But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?" Peter answered, "The Christ of God."
