Compare all
34 Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”
35 So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.
36 And aHe took the seven loaves and the fish and bgave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude.  
37 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.
38 Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39 aAnd He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of1 Magdala.

Matthew 15:36

Gave thanks (euxaristhsav). In Matthew 14:19 the word used for "grace" or "blessing" is euloghsen. Vincent notes that the Jewish custom was for the head of the house to say the blessing only if he shared the meal unless the guests were his own household. But we need not think of Jesus as bound by the peccadilloes of Jewish customs.
