John was dressed in camel's hair, with a leather girdle round his loins, and he ate locusts and wild honey.

He went into the house of God (Abiathar was high priest then) and ate the loaves of the Presence which no one except the priests is allowed to eat, and also shared them with his followers."

and as he sowed it chanced that some seed fell on the road, and the birds came and ate it up;

They all ate and had enough;

(The number of men who ate the loaves was five thousand.)

They noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with 'common' (that is, unwashed) hands.

So the people ate and were satisfied, and they picked up seven baskets of fragments which were left over.
