Gustave Dore The Miracle of Feeding the 5000

| 37 | 38 | 39 | 40 | 41 | 42 | 43 | 44 |

Verses 37-44 pose the riddle. An accurate word for word translation from The Greek-English interlinear New Testament, available off the shelf from most large bookstores, reveals key information and phrasing that is lost in most English translations.

6:37
But having answered he said to them ... Give to them yourselves to eat!
And they say to him (having departed) ... May we buy Loaves ... for Two Hundred Denarii ...
  and give to them to eat?
6:38
And he says to them ... How many Loaves do you have? ... Go see!
And having known, they say ... Five! ... and two Fish.
6:39
And he commanded them to recline ... everyone in Symposiums ... Symposiums on the green Grass.
6:40
And they reclined in Groups ... Groups according to Hundreds and according to Fifties.
6:41
And having taken the five Loaves and the two Fish ...
  having looked up into the Heaven, he blessed them ...
and he broke the Loaves ...
and he was giving to his Disciples so that they might set before them ...
and the two Fish he divided to all.
6:42
And everyone ate ...
and they were stuffed full.
6:43
And they picked up fragments ...
  Twelve full Baskets ...
  and from the Fish.
6:44
And the ones haven eaten the Loaves were Five Thousand Men.

The poetic alliteration in verses 39-40 and the most literal translation of what the Greek words in verse 43-44 actually say provide the key clues that enable an enlightened reader to solve this magnificent Christian Sacred Geometry word problem.
