9“Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”

11Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.
12When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples,
