Matthew 14:17-21
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, ahe looked up to heaven and bsaid 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.Mark 6:38-44
38And he said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they had found out, they said, c“Five, and two fish.” 39Then he commanded them all to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties. 41And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he dlooked up to heaven and esaid a blessing and broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the people. And he divided the two fish among them all. 42And they all ate and were satisfied. 43And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish. 44And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.Luke 9:12-17
12Now fthe day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, g“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, h“You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than ifive 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, jhe looked up to heaven and ksaid 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 6:5-13
5 lLifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to mPhilip, “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 nPhilip 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, pAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9“There is a boy here who has five qbarley loaves and two fish, but rwhat are they for so many?” 10Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” sNow there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11Jesus then took the loaves, and twhen 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.
