the loaves and fishes
hljebovi i ribe


Explanation:
...potječe iz tekstova evanđelja po kojima je Isus Krist učinio jedno od čuda tako da je prilikom propovijedi na Genezaretskom jezeru (sjever današnjeg Izraela, iz tog jezera izvire rijeka Jordan i teče prema jugu) nahranio oko 5000 ljudi sa 2 hljeba i 5 riba.

Budući da hljebovi u tim krajevima izgledaju sličnije našim pogačama, moguće je reći i 'pogače', ali je uvriježeni termin:

"hljebovi i ribe" ...

Od volje Vam ...

Pardon, bilo je obrnuto ... 5 hljebova i 2 ribe ...

Evanđelje po Ivanu
==============
1 U početku bijaše Riječ, i Riječ
bijaše s Bogom, i Riječ bijaše Bog.
…
5 Podigavši oči, ugleda Isus kako
veliko mnoštvo dolazi k njemu pa
reče Filipu: \"Gdje da kupimo kruha
da ovi mogu jesti?\"
6 Ali to reče kušajući ga, jer znao
je što kani učiniti.
7 Filip mu odgovori: \"Za dvjesto
denara kruha ne bi bilo dovoljno
da svak dobije ponešto.\"
8 Reče mu jedan od njegovih učeni-
ka, Andrija, brat Šimuna Petra:
9 \"Ovdje je dječak koji ima pet ječ-
menih kruhova i dvije ribice, ali što
je to za tolike?\"
10 Reče Isus: \"Neka ljudi posjeda-
ju!\" A bijaše mnogo trave na tome
mjestu. Posjedaše dakle muškarci,
njih oko pet tisuća.
11 I uze Isus kruhove te ih, pošto
dade hvalu, davaše učenicima, a
učenici onima što posjedaše. A ta-
ko i od ribica, koliko god su htjeli.
12 Kada se nasitiše, reče svojim uče-
nicima: \"Skupite preostale ulomke
da ništa ne propadne!\"
13 Oni dakle skupiše i napuniše
dvanaest košara ulomaka od pet
ječmenih kruhova i dvije ribice što
preostade onima koji su jeli.
14 Kad ljudi vidješe znamenje što ga
učini Isus, rekoše: \"Ovo je uistinu
Prorok koji ima doći na svijet.\"
15 Kad Isus dozna da kane doći i
nasilu ga učiniti kraljem, povuče se
ponovno u goru, posve sam.
