• During the feeding of the 5000, Jesus tells his disciples to gather
the scraps so that nothing would go to waste.
John 6:11-13 (KJV)
“…and Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he
distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and
likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.
So when they were filled, he said to his disciples, Gather up the fragments
that remain, so that nothing is lost (wasted).”
