John 6:5-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

⁶ And this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he would do.

⁷ Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him:

⁹ There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes; but what are these among so many?

¹⁰ Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.

¹² And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.

¹³ They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.

¹⁴ Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.
