Now the Passover Festival and the Festival of Unleavened Bread were held two days later. [Note: This was the annual Jewish Festival week commemorating Israel's deliverance from Egyptian bondage under Moses' leadership. The unleavened bread was specially baked bread containing no yeast, which was eaten for seven days as part of the celebration]. And the leading priests and experts in the law of Moses were looking for a way to take Jesus by trickery and kill Him.

And they began reasoning with one another, saying, " [Why be concerned about yeast since] we do not have [any] bread?"

Jesus had been warning them, "Watch out! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!"

And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.

And they had taken no thought to get bread; and they had only one cake of bread with them in the boat.

And while they were taking food, he took bread, and after blessing it, he gave the broken bread to them, and said, Take it: this is my body.

And on the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the passover, his disciples say unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and make ready that thou mayest eat the passover?

"It is one of you Twelve," said Jesus, "the one who is dipping his bread beside me into the dish.

And they came unto house, and the people assembled together again, so greatly that they had not leisure so much as to eat bread.

And commanded them, that they should take nothing unto their Journey, save a rod only: Neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their purses:

let them depart, that they may go into the country round about, and into the towns, and buy them bread: for they have nothing to eat."

He answered and said unto them, "Give ye them to eat." And they said unto him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?"

And when they saw certain of his disciples eat bread with common hands, that is to say, with unwashen hands, they complained.

Then asked him the Pharisees and scribes, "Why walk not thy disciples according to the traditions of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?"

And Jesus said unto her, "Let the children first be fed. For it is not meet, to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto whelps."

And his disciples answered him, "Where should a man have bread here in the wilderness to satisfy these?"

And when Jesus knew that, he said unto them, "Why take ye thought because ye have no bread? Perceive ye not yet, neither understand? Have ye your hearts yet blinded?

how he entered into the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest and ate the bread of the presentation, which it is not permitted to eat (except the priests) and also gave [it] to those who were with him?"

All ate and had enough; and they carried away broken fragments of bread and of fish, enough to fill twelve baskets.

Those who ate the bread were five thousand adult men.
