SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:12
Y cuando fueron saciados, dijo a sus discípulos: Recoged los pedazos que han quedado, para que no se pierda nada.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 6:12
Verse 12. Gather up the fragments] "Great will be the punishment of those who waste the crumbs of food, scatter seed, and neglect the law." Synops Sohar. Among the Jews the hap peah, or residue after a meal, was the property of the servitors.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. When they were filled , etc.] Had not only eaten, but had made a full meal, and were thoroughly satisfied, having eaten as much as they could, or chose to eat: he said unto his disciples, gather up the fragments that remain , that nothing be lost ; this he said, partly that the truth, reality, and greatness of the miracle might be clearly discerned; and partly, to teach frugality, that, in the midst of abundance, care be taken that nothing be lost of the good things which God gives; and which may be useful to other persons, or at another time.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-14 - John relates the miracle of feeding the multitude, for its reference to the following discourse. Observe the effect this miracle had upon the people. Even the common Jews expected the Messiah to come into the world, and to be a great Prophet. The Pharisees despised them as no knowing the law; but they knew most of Him who is the end of the law Yet men may acknowledge Christ as that Prophet, and still turn a dea ear to him.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
12. Fragments (klasmata). From klaw, to break. Rev., broken pieces. That remain (perisseusanta). 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.
