John 6:1-9 ▼

1 After this, Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Sea of Tiberias).

2 A large crowd was following Him because they had seen the signs (attesting miracles) which He continually performed on those who were sick.

3 And Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down there with His disciples.

4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was approaching.

5 Jesus looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming toward Him, and He said to Philip, “Where will we buy bread for these people to eat?”

6 But He said this to test Philip, because He knew what He was about to do.

7 Philip answered, “Two hundred denarii (200 days’ wages) worth of bread is not enough for each one to receive even a little.”

8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

9 “There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what are these for so many people?”
