John 6:8-15

⁸One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith to him,

⁹There is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes; but what are they among so many?

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

¹¹Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed to those that were lying down; in like manner also of the fishes, as much as they desired.

¹²And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain over, that nothing may be lost.

¹³So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained over and above to those that had eaten.

¹⁴The men therefore seeing the sign which he wrought, said, This is truly the prophet that was to come into the world.

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