Matthew 15:35

New American Bible - revised edition

He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.

See the chapter Copy

Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” “Seven,” they replied, “and a few fish.”

Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.

Jesus said, “Have the people recline.” Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number.
