Key Verses
When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?... There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?... And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
