the Miracles of Christ » The multitude fed
But when it was evening, His disciples came to Him and said, "This is a destitute place, and the day is over; send the crowds off to the villages to buy themselves food." But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to leave here; give them something to eat yourselves." They said to Him, "We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish." read more.
He said, "Bring them here to me." After ordering the crowds to sit down on the grass, He took the five loaves and two fish and looked up to heaven and blessed them; then He broke the loaves in pieces and gave them to the disciples, and they gave them to the people. And they all ate and had aplenty. Then they took up the pieces left over, which made twelve basketfuls. The people fed numbered about five thousand men, besides women and children.

Then Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "My heart is moved with pity for the crowd, for it is now three days they have been staying with me, and they have nothing at all left to eat, and I fear they might give out on the way home." The disciples said to Him, "Where in this destitute place can we get bread enough to satisfy such a crowd?" Then Jesus asked them, "How many loaves have you on hand?" They answered, "Seven and a few small fish." read more.
Then He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground, and He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks; then He broke them in pieces, and kept giving the pieces to the disciples, and they to the crowds. And they all ate and had aplenty, and they took up the pieces left over, which made seven hamper-basketfuls. Those fed numbered four thousand men, besides women and children.
