John 6:1-14

Jesus Feeds Five Thousand

After these things ^aJesus went away to the other side of ^bthe Sea of Galilee (or ^cTiberias). 2 Now a large crowd was following Him, because they were seeing the ¹^asigns which He was doing on those who were sick. 3 Then ^aJesus went up on the mountain, and there He was sitting down with His disciples. 4 Now ^athe Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to ^aPhilip, “Where should we buy bread, so that these people may eat?” 6 And this He was saying to ^atest him, for He Himself knew what He was going to do. 7 ^aPhilip answered Him, “^bTwo hundred ¹denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little.” 8 One of His ^adisciples, ^bAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother, *said to Him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two ^afish, but what are these for so many people?” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people ¹sit down.” Now there was ^amuch grass in the place. So the men ¹sat down, in number about ^bfive thousand. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and ^ahaving given thanks, He distributed them to those who were seated; likewise also of the ^bfish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they were filled, He *said to His ^adisciples, “Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing will be lost.” 13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve ^abaskets with pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. 14 Therefore when the people saw the ¹sign which He had done, they were saying, “This is truly the ^aProphet who is to come into the world.”
