Greek Commentary for John 6:12
First aorist (effective) passive indicative of εμπιμπλημι empimplēmi old verb to fill in, to fill up, to fill completely. They were all satisfied. The Synoptics have εχορταστησαν echortasthēsan like John 6:26 Gather up Second aorist active imperative of συναγω sunagō to gather together. Broken pieces From κλαω klaō to break. Not crumbs or scraps on the ground, but pieces broken by Jesus (Mark 6:41) and not consumed. Be lost Second aorist middle subjunctive of απολλυμι apollumi with ινα hina in purpose clause. Only in John. There was to be no wastefulness in Christ‘s munificence. The Jews had a custom of leaving something for those that served. [source]
From κλάω , to break. Rev., broken pieces. [source]
Rev., remain over. Literally, exceed the necessary supply. Only John gives the Lord's command to collect the fragments, and the reason for it, that nothing be lost. [source]
