8 Ref One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
9 Ref "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"
10 Ref Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 Ref Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.
12 Ref When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost."
