9“There is a boyG3808 hereG5602 whoG3739 hasG2192 fiveG4002 barleyG2916 loavesG740 and twoG1417 1fishG3795; but whatG5101 are theseG3778 for soG5118 manyG5118 people?”

10JesusG2424 saidG3004, “HaveG4160 the peopleG444 reclineG377 to eat.” NowG1161 there was 2plentyG4183 of grassG5528 in the placeG5117. SoG3767 the menG435 reclinedG377, aboutG5613 34fiveG4000 thousandG4000 in numberG706.

11JesusG2424 thenG3767 tookG2983 the loavesG740, and 5after givingG2168 thanksG2168 He distributedG1239 them to thoseG3588 who were recliningG345; likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 of the 6fishG3795, as muchG3745 as they wantedG2309.

12And whenG5613 they had eatenG1705 their fillG1705, He saidG3004 to His 7disciplesG3101, “GatherG4863 upG4863 the leftoverG4052 piecesG2801 soG2443 thatG2443 nothingG3361G5100 will be lostG622.”

13SoG3767 they gatheredG4863 them upG4863, and filledG1072 twelveG1427 8basketsG2894 with piecesG2801 from the fiveG4002 barleyG2916 loavesG740 whichG3739 were leftG4052 overG4052 by thoseG3588 who had eatenG977.
