¹¹ Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

²³ Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

³⁶ And he took the seven cakes of bread and the fishes; and having given praise, he gave the broken bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

¹⁸ In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.

¹³ When you come into the town you will see him straight away, before he goes up to the high place for the feast: the people are waiting for his blessing before starting the feast, and after that the guests will take part in it. So go up now and you will see him.

³⁰ And when he was seated with them at table, he took the bread, and said words of blessing and, making division of it, he gave it to them.

³⁵ And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.

⁶ He who keeps the day, keeps it to the Lord; and he who takes food, takes it as to the Lord, for he gives praise to God; and he who does not take food, to the Lord he takes it not, and gives praise to God.

³¹ So then, if it is a question of food or drink, or any other thing, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

⁴ Because everything which God has made is good, and nothing is evil, if it is taken with praise:

⁵ For it is made holy by the word of God and by prayer.
