16 Jesus replied, "They don't need to go away. You give them something to eat."
17 "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered.
18 "Bring them here to me," he said.
19 Then Jesus directed the people to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and gave thanks. He broke the loaves into pieces. Then he gave them to the disciples. And the disciples gave them to the people.
20 All of them ate and were satisfied. The disciples picked up 12 baskets of leftover pieces.
21 The number of men who ate was about 5,000. Women and children also ate.
22 Right away Jesus made the disciples get into the boat. He had them go on ahead of him to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. Then he sent the crowd away.
