Exegesis
The aorist imperative Synagagete {Συναγάγετε | Synagágete} issues a decisive command, whose object is expanded by the participial phrase ta perisseusanta klasmata {τὰ περισσεύσαντα κλάσματα | tá perisseúsanta klásmata}; here the participle perisseusanta functions attributively, specifying that the fragments are those that remain in surplus.
In context — John 6:12
When they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that are left over, so that nothing may be lost.”
