Then He told His disciples, “Have them sit down[a] in groups of about 50 each.” 15 They did so, and had them all sit down. 16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven,(B) He blessed and broke them.(C) He kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17 Everyone ate and was filled. Then they picked up[b] 12 baskets of leftover pieces.
