John 6:1-15
After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee — or of Tiberias-
2.and a large crowd followed him, impressed by the signs he had done in curing the sick. 3.Jesus climbed the hillside and sat down there with his disciples. 4.The time of the Jewish Passover was near. 5.Looking up, Jesus saw the crowds approaching and said to Philip, ‘Where can we buy some bread for these people to eat?’ 6.He said this only to put Philip to the test; he himself knew exactly what he was going to do.
7.Philip answered, ‘Two hundred denarii would not buy enough to give them a little piece each.’
8.One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said, 9.’Here is a small boy with five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that among so many?’ 10.Jesus said to them, ‘Make the people sit down.’ There was plenty of grass there, and as many as five thousand men sat down.
11.Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were sitting there; he then did the same with the fish, distributing as much as they wanted. 12.When they had eaten enough he said to the disciples, ‘Pick up the pieces left over, so that nothing is wasted.’
13.So they picked them up and filled twelve large baskets with scraps left over from the meal of five barley loaves. 14.Seeing the sign that he had done, the people said, ‘This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world.’ 15.Jesus, as he realised they were about to come and take him by force and make him king, fled back to the hills alone.
