Then Jesus looked up to heaven, gave a deep groan, and said to the man, "Ephphatha," which means, "Open up!"

He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, gave thanks to God, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the crowd; and the disciples did so.

They also had a few small fish. Jesus gave thanks for these and told the disciples to distribute them too.

While they were eating, Jesus took a piece of bread, gave a prayer of thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples. "Take it," he said, "this is my body."

You will have all you want to eat, and you will give thanks to the LORD your God for the fertile land that he has given you.

(SEE 9:12)

Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks to God, broke them, and gave them to the disciples; and the disciples gave them to the people.

While they were eating, Jesus took a piece of bread, gave a prayer of thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples. "Take and eat it," he said; "this is my body."

Jesus took the bread, gave thanks to God, and distributed it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, and they all had as much as they wanted.

After saying this, Paul took some bread, gave thanks to God before them all, broke it, and began to eat.

Those who think highly of a certain day do so in honor of the Lord; those who will eat anything do so in honor of the Lord, because they give thanks to God for the food. Those who refuse to eat certain things do so in honor of the Lord, and they give thanks to God.

Well, whatever you do, whether you eat or drink, do it all for God's glory.

Everything you do or say, then, should be done in the name of the Lord Jesus, as you give thanks through him to God the Father.

Everything that God has created is good; nothing is to be rejected, but everything is to be received with a prayer of thanks,

because the word of God and the prayer make it acceptable to God.
