Joh 6:9. Παιδάριον, a lad) Therefore the load was not a heavy one, consisting of five loaves, especially as there were fishes in addition.-ἕν, one [So [115][116] Vulg. But [117][118][119][120][121] omit ἓν]) There was no other source of supply.-κριθίνους) Barley loaves seem to have been smaller than wheaten loaves.
