A Song of Degrees. I lifted up my eyes to the mountains- from where my help shall come.

My help [shall come] from the Lord, who made the heaven and the earth.

And commanding the crowds to recline on the grass, taking the five loaves of bread and the two fish, looking up to heaven, He blessed, and breaking [them], He gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples [gave] to the crowds.

Then looking up into heaven, He sighed, and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."

And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

Now it came to pass, as He was reclining [to eat] with them, having taken bread, He blessed and broke it, and He gave [it] to them.

And He took the seven loaves and the fish, having given thanks, He broke [them], and gave [them] to His disciples; and the disciples [gave] to the crowd.

And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were reclining; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wished.

however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks--

And having said these things and having taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all, and having broken it, he began to eat.

He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he that does not regard the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. And he that eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he that does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and he gives thanks to God.

But if I partake with thanks, why am I defamed for [that] of which I give thanks?

and having given thanks, He broke it and said, "Take, eat; this is My body which has been broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

Because every creature of God is good, and not one is to be rejected, being received with thanksgiving,

for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
