15. That evening the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves.”
16. But Jesus said, “That isn’t necessary—you feed them.”
17. “But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish!” they answered.
18. “Bring them here,” he said.
19. Then he told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, he gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people.
20. They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward, the disciples picked up twelve baskets of leftovers.
