⁶ And He commanded the multitude to recline upon the ground, and He [then] took the seven loaves [of bread] and, having given thanks, He broke them and kept on giving them to His disciples to put before [the people], and they placed them before the crowd.

⁷ And they had a few small fish; and when He had ^[a]praised God and given thanks and asked Him to bless them [to their use], He ordered that these also should be set before [them].

⁸ And they ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven [^[b]large provision] baskets full of the broken pieces left over.
