Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves. He kept giving them to His disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?

“Men,” Jesus called to them, “you don’t have any fish, do you?”

“No,” they answered.

“Cast the net on the right side of the boat,” He told them, “and you’ll find some.” So they did, and they were unable to haul it in because of the large number of fish.

But since they were not far from land (about 100 yards away), the other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish.

When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire there, with fish lying on it, and bread.

“Bring some of the fish you’ve just caught,” Jesus told them.

So Simon Peter got up and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish—153 of them. Even though there were so many, the net was not torn.

Jesus came, took the bread, and gave it to them. He did the same with the fish.

Not all flesh is the same flesh; there is one flesh for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish.

“Follow Me,” He told them, “and I will make you fish for people!”

Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

For as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea. It collected every kind of fish,

and when it was full, they dragged it ashore, sat down, and gathered the good fish into containers, but threw out the worthless ones.

“But we only have five loaves and two fish here,” they said to Him.

Then He commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked them.

“Seven,” they said, “and a few small fish.”

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

“But, so we won’t offend them, go to the sea, cast in a fishhook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth you’ll find a coin. Take it and give it to them for Me and you.”

“Follow Me,” Jesus told them, “and I will make you fish for people!”

Every sea creature, reptile, bird, or animal is tamed and has been tamed by man,

“There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish—but what are they for so many?”

Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were seated—so also with the fish, as much as they wanted.

So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish,

And He asked them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look.”

When they found out they said, “Five, and two fish.”

Then they picked up 12 baskets full of pieces of bread and fish.

They also had a few small fish, and when He had blessed them, He said these were to be served as well.

When they did this, they caught a great number of fish, and their nets began to tear.

For he and all those with him were amazed at the catch of fish they took,

“You give them something to eat,” He told them.

“We have no more than five loaves and two fish,” they said, “unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them. He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

“I’m going fishing,” Simon Peter said to them.

“We’re coming with you,” they told him. They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
