Matthew 14:15-21
15Now when it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a desolate place, and the day is now over; asend the crowds away to go into the villages and buy food for themselves.” 16But Jesus said, “They need not go away; byou give them something to eat.” 17They said to him, “We have only five loaves here and two fish.” 18And he said, “Bring them here to me.” 19Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass, and taking the five loaves and the two fish, che looked up to heaven and dsaid a blessing. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 20And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 21And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.Luke 9:12-17
12Now ethe day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, f“Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place.” 13But he said to them, g“You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than hfive loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.” 14For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16And taking the five loaves and the two fish, ihe looked up to heaven and jsaid a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces.John 6:5-15
5 kLifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to lPhilip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 mPhilip answered him, “Two hundred denarii ▼▼A denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer
worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.” 8One of his disciples, oAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9“There is a boy here who has five pbarley loaves and two fish, but qwhat are they for so many?” 10Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” rNow there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11Jesus then took the loaves, and swhen he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.” 13So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. 14When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, t“This is indeed uthe Prophet vwho is to come into the world!” 15 wPerceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus xwithdrew again to ythe mountain by himself.
