'Blessing' in the Bible

And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them; and when the cakes were broken, he gave them to the disciples to put before the people; and he made division of the two fishes among them all.

And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.

And he took them in his arms, and gave them a blessing, putting his hands on them.

And those who went in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord:

A blessing on the coming kingdom of our father David: Glory in the highest.

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.
