John 6:4-13

4NowG1161 the passoverG3957, the feastG1859 of the JewsG2453, wasG1510 at hand.

5JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 liftingG1869 up his eyesG3788, and seeingG2300 that a greatG4183 multitudeG3793 cometh unto him, saith unto PhilipG5376, Whence are we to buyG59 breadG740, that these may eatG2068?

6And this he saidG3004 to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

7PhilipG5376 answeredG611 him, TwoG1250 hundredG1250 shillings’ worth of breadG740 is not sufficient for them, that every oneG5100 may takeG2983 a littleG1024.

8OneG1520 of his disciplesG3101, AndrewG406, SimonG4613 Peter’s brotherG80, saith unto him,

9There isG1510 a lad hereG5602, who hath fiveG4002 barleyG2916 loavesG740, and twoG1417 fishes: but what areG1510 these among so manyG5118?

10JesusG2424 saidG3004, MakeG4160 the people sit down. NowG1161 there wasG1510 muchG4183 grassG5528 in the placeG5117. So the menG444 sat downG377, in numberG706 about fiveG4000 thousandG4000.

11JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 tookG2983 the loavesG740; and having givenG1325 thanksG2168, he distributed to them that were set down; likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 of the fishes as muchG3745 as they wouldG2309.

12And whenG5613 they were filled, he saith unto his disciplesG3101, GatherG4863 up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lostG622.

13So they gatheredG4863 them up, and filledG1072 twelveG1427 baskets with broken pieces from the fiveG4002 barleyG2916 loavesG740, which remained over unto them that had eaten.
