John 6:8-15

English Standard Version

⁸One of his disciples, ^(A)Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, ⁹“There is a boy here who has five ^(B)barley loaves and two fish, but ^(C)what are they for so many?” ¹⁰Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” ^(D)Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. ¹¹Jesus then took the loaves, and ^(E)when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. ¹²And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.” ¹³So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. ¹⁴When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, ^(F)“This is indeed ^(G)the Prophet ^(H)who is to come into the world!”
