12 And Andrew said, We have no bread, but we have found a lad who has five barley loaves and two small fish; but this would not be food enough for one in ten.

13 But Jesus said, Command these people all to sit upon the grass in companies of twelve; and they all sat down in companies of twelve.

14 Then Jesus took the loaves and fish, and looking up to heaven he spoke the sacred Word.

15 And then he broke the bread and gave it to the twelve; he also gave the fish unto the twelve, and said, Go to and feed the multitudes.

16 And all the people ate and were refreshed.

17 There were about five thousand men, a company of little ones, and women not a few.

18 And when the people all were filled the master said,

19 Let not a crumb be lost; Go to and gather up the pieces of the bread and fish for others that may want.

20 They gathered up the fragments and they filled twelve baskets full.

21 The people were bewildered by this wondrous act of power; they said, And now we know that Jesus is the prophet that our prophets said would come; and then they said, All hail the king!
