'Thanks' in the Bible

He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. He gave them to his disciples to serve the people, and he divided the two fish among them all.

Then he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. After he took the seven loaves and gave thanks, he broke them and began giving them to the disciples to serve. So they served the crowd.

They also had a few small fish. After giving thanks for these, he told them to serve these as well.

While they were eating, he took bread, and after giving thanks he broke it, gave it to them, and said, "Take it. This is my body."

And after taking the cup and giving thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.
