9 "A youth here has five barley loaves and two fish. But what good is that for a crowd like this?"
10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass there. They sat down, about five thousand of them.
11 Then Jesus took the bread. When he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish, each getting as much as they wanted.
12 When they had plenty to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the leftover pieces, so that nothing will be wasted."
13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves that had been left over by those who had eaten.
14 When the people saw that he had done a miraculous sign, they said, "This is truly the prophet who is coming into the world."
15 Jesus understood that they were about to come and force him to be their king, so he took refuge again, alone on a mountain.
