John 6:9-13

9“Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what good are these for so many people?”

10Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.) So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.

11Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed the bread to those who were seated. He then did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.

12When they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted.”

13So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves left over by the people who had eaten.
