After these things, Jesus traveled across the sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. |
| 6:2 |
And a great multitude was following him, for they saw the signs that he was accomplishing toward those who were infirm. |
| 6:3 |
Therefore, Jesus went onto a mountain, and he sat down there with his disciples. |
| 6:4 |
Now the Passover, the feast day of the Jews, was near. |
| 6:5 |
And so, when Jesus had lifted up his eyes and had seen that a very great multitude came to him, he said to Philip, “From where should we buy bread, so that these may eat?” |
| 6:6 |
But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do. |
| 6:7 |
Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little.” |
| 6:8 |
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him: |
| 6:9 |
“There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?” |
| 6:10 |
Then Jesus said, “Have the men sit down to eat.” Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat. |
| 6:11 |
Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted. |
| 6:12 |
Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost.” |
| 6:13 |
And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten. |
| 6:14 |
Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, “Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world.” |
| 6:15 |
And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone. |
