John 6:6-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. He said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do.

7. Philip answered him, “Two hundred days’ wages worth of food would not be enough for each of them to have a little [bit].”

8. One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him,

9. “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?”

10. Jesus said, “Have the people recline.” Now there was a great deal of grass in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number.

11. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were reclining, and also as much of the fish as they wanted.

12. When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments left over, so that nothing will be wasted.”

13. So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that had been more than they could eat.

14. When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, “This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world.”
