'Five' in the Bible
They replied, “We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.”
Then He ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and He took the five loaves and the two fish and, looking up toward heaven, He blessed and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people,
Do you still not understand or remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you picked up?
And about the eleventh hour (5:00 p.m.) he went out and found others standing around, and he said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’
Those who had been hired at the eleventh hour (5:00 p.m.) came and received a denarius each [a day’s wage].
Five of them were foolish [thoughtless, silly, and careless], and five were wise [far-sighted, practical, and sensible].
To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and then he went on his journey.
The one who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he [made a profit and] gained five more.
And the one who had received the five talents came and brought him five more, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted to me five talents. See, I have [made a profit and] gained five more talents.’
