When Jesus then lift up his eyes, and saw a great company come
unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that
these may eat? (And this he said to prove him; for he himself knew
what he would do.) Philip answered him, Two hundred penny-worth of
bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a
little. One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith
unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley-loaves, and
two small fishes; but what are they among so many? And Jesus said,
Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So
the men sat down, in number about five thousand. And Jesus took
the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the
disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and
likewise of the fishes, as much as they would. When they were
filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that
remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them
together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five
barley-loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had
eaten. Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus
did, said, This is of a truth that Prophet that should come into
the world.
_If there be any more Sundays before Advent Sunday, the Service of
some of those Sundays that were omitted after the Epiphany shall
be taken in to supply so many as are here wanting. And if there
be fewer, the overplus may be omitted: Provided that this last
Collect, Epistle, and Gospel shall always be used upon the Sunday
next before Advent_.
