"Men will not break[bread] in mourningfor them, to comfortanyone for the dead,norgivethem a cupof consolationto drinkfor anyone's fatheror mother.
Orderingthe peopleto sit downon the grass,He tookthe fiveloavesand the twofish,and lookingup towardheaven,He blessed[the food], and breakingthe loavesHe gavethem to the disciples,and the disciples[gave them] to the crowds,
and He tookthe sevenloavesand the fish;and giving thanks,He brokethem and started givingthem to the disciples,and the disciples[gave them] to the people.
