34 Jesus asked, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They answered, “We have seven loaves of bread and a few small fish.”
35 Jesus told the people to sit on the ground.
36 He took the seven loaves of bread and the fish. Then he gave thanks to God for the food. He broke the bread into pieces, which he gave to the followers, and they gave the food to the people.
37 All the people ate until they were full. After this, the followers filled seven baskets with the pieces of food that were not eaten.
38 There were about 4000 men there who ate. There were also some women and children.
39 After they all ate, Jesus told the people they could go home. He got into the boat and went to the area of Magadan.
