38 Et il leur dit: Combien avez-vous de pains? Allez voir.Ils s’en assurèrent, et répondirent: Cinq, et deux poissons.

39 Alors il leur commanda de les faire tous asseoir par groupes sur l’herbe verte,

40 et ils s’assirent par rangées de cent et de cinquante.

41 Il prit les cinq pains et les deux poissons et, levant les yeux vers le ciel, il rendit grâces. Puis, il rompit les pains, et les donna aux disciples, afin qu’ils les distribuassent à la foule. Il partagea aussi les deux poissons entre tous.
