John 6:2-14

2A large crowd was following Him, because they were watching the 12signs which He was performing on those who were sick. 3But 3Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. 4Now 4the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. 5So Jesus, after raising His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, said to 5Philip, “Where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat?” 6But He was saying this only to 6test him, for He Himself knew what He intended to do. 77Philip answered Him, “8Two hundred 9denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, for each to receive just a little!” 8One of His 10disciples, 11Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, 9“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two 12fish; but what are these for so many people?” 10Jesus said, “Have the people recline to eat.” Now there was 13plenty of grass in the place. So the men reclined, about 1415five thousand in number. 11Jesus then took the loaves, and 16after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were reclining; likewise also of the 17fish, as much as they wanted. 12And when they had eaten their fill, He said to His 18disciples, “Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing will be lost.” 13So they gathered them up, and filled twelve 19baskets with pieces from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. 14Therefore when the people saw the 20sign which He had performed, they said, “This is truly the 21Prophet who is to come into the world.”
