13 Jesus answered, “You give them something to eat.”But they replied, “We have only five small loaves of bread and two fish. If we are going to feed all these people, we will have to go and buy food.”
14 There were about 5,000 men in the crowd.Jesus said to his disciples, “Tell the people to sit in groups of 50.”
15 They did this, and all the people sat down.
16 Jesus took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven and blessed the food. Then he broke the bread and fish and handed them to his disciples to give to the people.
17 Everyone ate all they wanted. What was left over filled twelve baskets.
18 When Jesus was alone praying, his disciples came to him, and he asked them, “What do people say about me?”
19 They answered, “Some say you are John the Baptist or Elijah or a prophet from long ago who has come back to life.”
