12 When the sun was beginning to set, the twelve disciples came to him and said, “Send the people away so that they can go to the villages and farms round here and find food and lodging, because this is a lonely place.”
13 But Jesus said to them, “You yourselves give them something to eat.”They answered, “All we have are five loaves and two fish. Do you want us to go and buy food for this whole crowd?”
14 (There were about 5,000 men there.)Jesus said to his disciples, “Make the people sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
15 After the disciples had done so,
16 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up to heaven, thanked God for them, broke them, and gave them to the disciples to distribute to the people.
17 They all ate and had enough, and the disciples took up twelve baskets of what was left over.
18 One day when Jesus was praying alone, the disciples came to him. “Who do the crowds say I am?” he asked them.
