John 6:1-13 ▼

1 After this, Jesus (YHWH saves) crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (circuit) (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).

2 A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

3 Then Jesus (YHWH saves) went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples (pupils).

4 Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.

5 When Jesus (YHWH saves) looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip (friend of horses), “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?

6 But He was asking this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

7 Philip (friend of horses) answered, “Two hundred denarii (days’ wages) would not buy enough bread for each of them to have a small piece.

8 One of His disciples (pupils), Andrew (manly), Simon (hearing) Peter’s brother, said to Him,

9 “Here is a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. But what difference will these make among so many?

10 “Have the people sit down, Jesus (YHWH saves) said. Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.

11 Then Jesus (YHWH saves) took the loaves and the fish, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted.

12 And when everyone was full, He said to His disciples (pupils), “Gather the pieces that are left over, so that nothing will be wasted.

13 So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
