John 6: 1 - 15
|
| 1
|
After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiber'i-as.
|
| 2
|
And a multitude followed him, because they saw the signs which he did on those who were diseased.
|
| 3
|
Jesus went up on the mountain, and there sat down with his disciples.
|
| 4
|
Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
|
| 5
|
Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a multitude was coming to him, Jesus said to Philip, "How are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?"
|
| 6
|
This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
|
| 7
|
Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little."
|
| 8
|
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
|
| 9
|
"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are they among so many?"
|
| 10
|
Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
|
| 11
|
Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.
|
| 12
|
And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, that nothing may be lost."
|
| 13
|
So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten.
|
| 14
|
When the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, "This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world!"
|
| 15
|
Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
