Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and
looking up to heaven, he said the blessing,
broke the loaves, and gave them to the disci-
ples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.
They all ate and were satisfied, and they
picked up the fragments left overtwelve
wicker baskets full. Those who ate were
about five thousand men, not counting women
and children.
