John 6:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
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[a] and two fish; but what good are these for so many?”(A) 10 Jesus said, “Have the people recline.” Now there was a great deal of grass[b] in that place. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number.(B)

- 6:9 Barley loaves: the food of the poor. There seems an allusion to the story of Elisha multiplying the barley bread in 2 Kgs 4:42–44.
- 6:10 Grass: implies springtime, and therefore Passover. Five thousand: so Mk 6:39, 44 and parallels.
