One of His disciples, h Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
9
"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, i but what are they among so many?"

Then Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11
And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.
12
So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost."
13
Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
14
Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly j the Prophet who is to come into the world."
15
Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him k king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.
