And He directed the people to sit down on the ground;
Ordering the people to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up toward heaven, He blessed the food, and breaking the loaves He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds,
And He commanded them all to sit down by groups on the green grass.
(For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, “Have them sit down to eat in groups of about fifty each.”
Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
