John 6:1-13 ▼

1 After these things Jesus went beyond the Sea of Galilee, of Tiberias.

2 And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw the miracles He was doing in behalf of the sick.

3 And Jesus came into the mountain; and was sitting there with His disciples.

4 And the passover, the feast of the Jews, was nigh.

5 Therefore Jesus lifting up His eyes, and seeing that a great multitude is coming to Him, He says to Philip, Whence can we purchase bread, that these may eat?

6 He spoke this testing him; for He knew what He was about to do.

7 Philip responded to Him, The loaves of two hundred denaria are not sufficient for these, that each one may receive a little.

8 And one of His disciples, Andrew, the brother of Peter, says to Him,

9 There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fishes: but what are these among so many?

10 And Jesus said, Make the people sit down. And there was much grass in the place. However the men sat down in number about five thousand.

11 And Jesus took the bread; and gave thanks, and gave it to the disciples, and the disciples to the people sitting down; and likewise also of the fishes so much as they wished.

12 And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, Gather up the remaining fragments, that nothing may be lost.

13 Then they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets from the live barley loaves, which remained to those having eaten.
