John 6:8-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

8. One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

9. “There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish — but what are they for so many? ”

10. Then Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.”There was plenty of grass in that place, so they sat down. The men numbered about 5,000.

11. Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were seated — so also with the fish, as much as they wanted.

12. When they were full, He told His disciples, “Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted.”
