John 6:5-13

5So Jesus, after raising His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to aPhilip, Where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat?” 6But He was saying this only to btest him, for He Himself knew what He intended to do. 7 cPhilip answered Him, “ dTwo hundred
The denarius was a day’s wages for a laborer
denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, for each to receive just a little!”
8One of His fdisciples, gAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother, *said to Him, 9“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two hfish; but what are these for so many people? 10Jesus said, Have the people recline to eat. Now there was iplenty of grass in the place. So the men reclined, about
I.e., 5,000 men plus women and children, cf. Matt 14:21
,
kfive thousand in number.
11Jesus then took the loaves, and lafter giving thanks He distributed them to those who were reclining; likewise also of the mfish, as much as they wanted. 12And when they had eaten their fill, He *said to His ndisciples, Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing will be lost.” 13So they gathered them up, and filled twelve obaskets with pieces from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
