Mark 6:38-44

Worldwide English (New Testament)

³⁸ He said, `Go and see how much bread you have.' When they knew, they told him, `We have five loaves of bread and two fish.'

³⁹ Jesus told the disciples to make all the people sit on the green grass in groups.

⁴⁰ The people sat down in groups. Some groups were a hundred people and some were fifty people.

⁴¹ Jesus took the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked up to heaven and thanked God for them. Then he broke them in pieces. He gave them to the disciples to give to the people. Then he divided the two fish among them all.

⁴² They all ate and had enough.

⁴³ Then they gathered twelve baskets full of pieces that were left.

⁴⁴ The number of men who ate was about five thousand.
