^{6 Ref} and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

^{7 Ref} Philip answered him, `Two hundred denaries' worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;'

^{8 Ref} one of his disciples -- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter -- saith to him,

^{9 Ref} `There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these -- what are they to so many?'

^{10 Ref} And Jesus said, `Make the men to sit down;' and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

^{11 Ref} and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

^{12 Ref} And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, `Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;'

^{13 Ref} they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.

^{14 Ref} The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said -- `This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;'

^{6 Ref} This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.

^{7 Ref} Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."

^{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."

^{13 Ref} So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.

^{14 Ref} When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."
