39 Then Jesus told his followers to have the people sit in groups on the green grass.
40 So they sat in groups of fifty or a hundred.
41 Jesus took the five loaves and two fish and, looking up to heaven, he thanked God for the food. He divided the bread and gave it to his followers for them to give to the people. Then he divided the two fish among them all.
42 All the people ate and were satisfied.
43 The followers filled twelve baskets with the leftover pieces of bread and fish.
44 There were five thousand men who ate.
45 Immediately Jesus told his followers to get into the boat and go ahead of him to Bethsaida across the lake. He stayed there to send the people home.
