So He bade all the people sit down on the ground,
»How many loaves have you?« Jesus asked. »Seven,« they said, »and a few small fish.«
and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples, and they to the people.
»Make the people sit down,« said Jesus. The ground was covered with thick grass; so they sat down, the adult men numbering about 5,000.
