So Jesus ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.
“How much bread do you have?” Jesus asked. “Seven loaves,” they answered, “and a few small fish.”
Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks to God, broke them, and gave them to the disciples; and the disciples gave them to the people.
“Make the people sit down,” Jesus told them. (There was a lot of grass there.) So all the people sat down; there were about five thousand men.
