John 6:1-9 ▼

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

2 A large crowd kept following him because they had seen the signs that he was performing by healing the sick.

3 But Jesus went up on a hillside and sat down there with his disciples.

4 Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.

5 When Jesus looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming toward him, he asked Philip, |Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?|

6 Jesus said this to test him, because he himself knew what he was going to do.

7 Philip answered him, |Two hundred denarii worth of bread isn't enough for each of them to have a little.|

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, told him,

9 |There's a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish. But what are these among so many people?|
