They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish -- unless we are to go and buy food for all these people."  14For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Make them sit down in companies, about fifty each."  15And they did so, and made them all sit down.  16And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd.  17And all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what was left over, twelve baskets of broken pieces
