John 6:8-15

⁸One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,

⁹There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many?

¹⁰Jesus said, Make the people sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹¹Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would.

¹²And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost.

¹³So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten.

¹⁴When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world.

¹⁵Jesus therefore perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again into the mountain himself alone.
