When he [Jesus] looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him,

Jesus said to Philip,

“Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?” He said this to test him, …

Philip answered him, “Six months’ wages would not buy enough bread

for each of them to get a little.”

… Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.”

Now there was a great deal of grass in the place;

so they sat down, about five thousand in all. …

Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks,

he distributed them to those who were seated;

so also the fish, as much as they wanted.

When they were satisfied, he told his disciples,

“Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost.”
