1 After these thynges, Iesus went his waye ouer the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

2 And a great multitude folowed hym, because they sawe his miracles whiche he dyd on them that were diseased.

3 And Iesus went vp into a mountayne, & there he sate with his disciples.

4 And the Passouer, a feast of ye Iewes, was nye.

5 When Iesus then lyft vp his eyes, and sawe a great company come vnto him, he saith vnto Philip: Whence shal we bye bread, that these may eate?

6 (This he sayde to proue hym: for he hym selfe knewe what he woulde do.)

7 Philip aunswered hym: Two hundred penie worth of bread are not sufficient for them, that euery man may take a litle.

8 One of his disciples, Andrewe, Simo Peters brother, sayth vnto hym:

9 There is a litle ladde here, whiche hath fyue barly loaues and two fisshes, but what are they among so many?

10 And Iesus sayde: Make the people syt downe. There was much grasse in the place. So the men sate downe, in number about fyue thousande.

11 And Iesus toke the bread, and when he had geue thankes, he gaue to the disciples, and the disciples to them yt were set downe, and lykewyse of the fisshes, as much as they woulde.

12 When they had eaten enough, he saide vnto his disciples: Gather vp the broke meate that remayneth, that nothyng be lost.

13 And they gathered it together, & fylled twelue baskettes with the broken meate of the fyue barly loaues, whiche broken meate remayned vnto them that had eaten.
