John 6:9-13

9“A boy who has five loaves of barley bread and two small fish is here. But they won’t go very far for so many people.”

10Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” The people had plenty of grass to sit on. (There were about 5,000 men in the crowd.)

11Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to the people who were sitting there. He did the same thing with the fish. All the people ate as much as they wanted.

12When the people were full, Jesus told his disciples, “Gather the leftover pieces so that nothing will be wasted.”

13The disciples gathered the leftover pieces of bread and filled twelve baskets.
