John 6:9-15

Moffatt(i) 9 "There is a servant here, with five barley-cakes and a couple of fish; but what is that among so many?" 10 Jesus said, "Get the people to lie down." Now there was plenty of grass at the spot, so the men lay down, numbering about five thousand. 11 Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks to God, and distributed them to those who were reclining; so too with the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they were satisfied, he said to the disciples, "Gather up the pieces left over, so that nothing may be wasted." 13 They gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with pieces of the five loaves left over from the meal. 14 Now when the people saw the Sign he had performed, they said, "This really is the Prophet who is to come into the world!" 15 Whereupon Jesus perceived they meant to come and seize him to make a king of him; so he withdrew by himself to the hill again.
