Context of John 6:8

6Jesus himself already knew what he would do. But he asked Philip this question because he wanted to know what Philip would say. 7Philip answered, ‘A man could work for eight months to get 200 silver coins. But he still would not have enough money to buy bread for all these people. There would not be enough bread for each person here to have even a little piece.’ Then Andrew, another one of Jesus' disciples, spoke. He was Simon Peter's brother. 9He said to Jesus, ‘Here is a boy who has five small loaves and two fish. But that will certainly not be enough food for so many people.’ 10Jesus said, ‘Tell the people to sit down.’ There was plenty of grass in that place, so the people sat down. There were about 5,000 men in the crowd.
