John 6:9-14

⁹“There is a little boy here who has five loaves of barley bread and two small fish, but what are they for so many?”

¹⁰Then Jesus said, “Make the people recline.” Now there was plenty of grass in the place; so the men reclined, about five thousand in number.

¹¹Then Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were reclining; so too with the fish, as much as they wanted.

¹²So when they were full He says to His disciples, “Collect the leftover fragments so that nothing be wasted.”

¹³So they collected and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that were left over from those who had eaten.

¹⁴Now then, having seen the miraculous sign that Jesus performed the men said, “This One really is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
