It is used in the New Testament to describe the leftover pieces of bread after a meal, emphasizing the abundance and provision of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern culture, bread was a staple food and often symbolized sustenance and life. The act of breaking bread was a common practice during meals, and it held significant communal and religious connotations. In Jewish tradition, bread was broken and shared during meals, and it was also a part of religious rituals, such as the Passover. The concept of gathering fragments or leftovers was a practical way to avoid waste and demonstrate gratitude for God's provision.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2806.htm">klaó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a broken piece<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>broken pieces (7), fragments (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2801: κλάσμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κλάσμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κλασματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">κλάω</span>), <span class="accented">a fragment, broken piece</span>: plural, of remnants of food, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/14-20.htm">Matthew 14:20</a>; <a href="/interlinear/matthew/15-37.htm">Matthew 15:37</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/6-43.htm">Mark 6:43</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/8-8.htm">Mark 8:8, 19</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/9-17.htm">Luke 9:17</a>; <a href="/interlinear/john/6-12.htm">John 6:12</a>f (<span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, cyn. 10, 5; <span class="abbreviation">Diodorus</span> 17, 13; <span class="abbreviation">Plutarch</span>, Tib.
