6:5¶ When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

6:7Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

6:8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,

6:9There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

6:10And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

6:11And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
