³⁵ Then he gave an order to the people to be seated on the earth,

¹⁹ And he gave orders for the people to be seated on the grass; and he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing, and made division of the food, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the people.

²⁰ And they all took of the food and had enough: and they took up twelve baskets full of broken bits which were not used.

²¹ And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

³⁹ And he made them all be seated in groups on the green grass.

⁴⁰ And they were placed in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.

¹⁴ For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them be seated in groups, about fifty to a group.

¹⁵ And they did so, and made them all be seated.

¹⁶ And he took the five cakes of bread and the two fishes and, looking up to heaven, he said words of blessing over them, and when they had been broken, he gave them to the disciples to give to the people.

¹⁰ Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.
