11 And G1161 Jesus G2424 took G2983 the loaves; G740 and G2532 when he had given thanks, G2168 he distributed G1239 to the disciples, G3101 and G1161 the disciples G3101 to them that were set down; G345 and G2532 likewise G3668 of G1537 the fishes G3795 as much as G3745 they would. G2309
12 When G1161 G5613 they were filled, G1705 he said G3004 unto his G846 disciples, G3101 Gather up G4863 the fragments G2801 that remain, G4052 that nothing G3363 G5100 be lost. G622
13 Therefore G3767 they gathered them together, G4863 and G2532 filled G1072 twelve G1427 baskets G2894 with the fragments G2801 of G1537 the five G4002 barley G2916 loaves, G740 which G3739 remained over and above G4052 unto them that had eaten. G977

Commentary on John 6 Matthew Henry Commentary
Chapter 6
In this chapter we have,
Jhn 6:1-14
We have here an account of Christ's feeding five thousand men with five loaves and two fishes, which miracle is in this respect remarkable, that it is the only passage of the actions of Christ's life that is recorded by all the four evangelists. John, who does not usually relate what had been recorded by those who wrote before him, yet relates this, because of the reference the following discourse has to it. Observe,
Jhn 6:15-21
Here is,
Jhn 6:22-27
In these verses we have,
Jhn 6:28-59
Whether this conference was with the Capernaites, in whose synagogue Christ now was, or with those who came from the other side of the sea, is not certain nor material; however, it is an instance of Christ's condescension that he gave them leave to ask him questions, and did not resent the interruption as an affront, no, not from his common hearers, though not his immediate followers. Those that would be apt to teach must be swift to hear, and study to answer. It is the wisdom of teachers, when they are asked even impertinent unprofitable questions, thence to take occasion to answer in that which is profitable, that the question may be rejected, but not the request. Now,
Jhn 6:60-71
We have here an account of the effects of Christ's discourse. Some were offended and others edified by it; some driven from him and others brought nearer to him.
