11. Then Jesus took the loaves of bread. He thanked God for the bread and gave it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish. He gave them as much as they wanted.
12. They all had enough to eat. When they had finished, Jesus said to his followers, “Gather the pieces of fish and bread that were not eaten. Don’t waste anything.”
13. So they gathered up the pieces that were left. They filled 12 large baskets with the pieces that were left of the five barley loaves.
14. The people saw this miracle that Jesus did. They said, “He must truly be the Prophet who is coming into the world.”
15. Jesus knew that the people planned to come and take him by force and make him their king. So he left and went into the hills alone.
