Selected passage

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.

6:12When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

6:13Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

6:14Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
