To sit

Then he gave orders that they were to make all the people lie down in parties on the green grass;

He said, "Bring them here to me."

So he ordered the crowd to recline on the ground.

(There were about five thousand men of them.) He said to his disciples, "Make them lie down in rows of about fifty."

Blessed are those servants whom the lord and master finds awake when he comes! I tell you truly, he will gird himself, make them recline at table, and come forward to wait on them.

His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."

Jesus said, "Get the people to lie down." Now there was plenty of grass at the spot, so the men lay down, numbering about five thousand.

Gave thanks

and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven he blessed them, broke the loaves in pieces which he handed to the disciples to set before them, and divided the two fish among them all.

He took the seven loaves and the fish and after giving thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.

As they were eating he took a loaf and after the blessing he broke it; then he gave it to the disciples saying, "Take and eat this, it means my body."

And as he lay at table with them he took the loaf, blessed it, broke it and handed it to them.

Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to those who were reclining; so too with the fish, as much as they wanted.

the man who values a particular day does so to the Lord. The eater eats to the Lord, since he thanks God for his food; the non-eater abstains to the Lord, and he too thanks God.

If one partakes of food after saying a blessing over it, why should one be denounced for eating what one has given thanks to God for?

Indeed, whatever you say or do, let everything be done in dependence on the Lord Jesus, giving thanks in his name to God the Father.
