multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two

20 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments
that remained twelve baskets full. (Matthew 14:19-20)

37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat
that was left seven baskets full. (Matthew 15:37)

10 And again he saith, Rejoice, ye Gentiles, with His people. (Romans 15:8-10)
