¹⁷ And they say to him, We have here but five cakes of bread and two fishes.

²¹ Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month.

²² Are flocks and herds to be put to death for them? or are all the fish in the sea to be got together so that they may be full?

²³ And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not.

³³ And the disciples say to him, How may we get enough bread in a waste place, to give food to such a number of people?

³⁴ And Jesus says to them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes, and some small fishes.

⁹ Do you still not see, or keep in mind the five cakes of bread of the five thousand, and the number of baskets you took up?

³⁷ But he said to them in answer, Give them food yourselves. And they said to him, Are we to go and get bread for two hundred pence, and give it to them?

³⁸ And he said to them, How much bread have you? go and see. And when they had seen, they said, Five cakes of bread and two fishes.

⁴ And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?

⁵ And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.

¹³ But he said, Give them food yourselves. And they said, We have only five cakes of bread and two fishes, if we do not go and get food for all these people.

⁵ Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?

⁶ This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.

⁷ Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,

⁹ There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?

¹⁹ They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land?

²⁰ See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?
