and in the
same manner of the fishes, as much as they chose. (12)And when they had
made a hearty meal, he saith to his disciples, Gather up the broken
bits which are left, that not a morsel be wasted. (13)Then they
collected them, and filled twelve baskets with fragments out of the
five barley-loaves, which were more than enough for those who had
eaten. (14)When therefore the men saw the miracle which Jesus had done,
they said, This is of a certainty that prophet which is to come into
the world. (15)Then Jesus, knowing their intention to come and to seize
him by force, in order to make him king, retired again into the
mountain by himself alone.
(16)So when evening was now come, his disciples went down to the
