John 6:1-13
1AfterG3326 theseG3778 thingsG3778 1JesusG2424 wentG565 awayG565 to the otherG4008 sideG4008 of 2the SeaG2281 of GalileeG1056 (or 3TiberiasG5085).
2A largeG4183 crowdG3793 was followingG190 Him, becauseG3754 they were watchingG3708 the 45signsG4592 whichG3739 He was performingG4160 on thoseG3588 who were sickG770.
3But 6JesusG2424 wentG424 up on the mountainG3735, and thereG1563 He satG2521 with His disciplesG3101.
4NowG1161 7the PassoverG3957, the feastG1859 of the JewsG2453, was nearG1451.
5SoG3767 JesusG2424, after raisingG1869 His eyesG3788 and seeingG2300 that a largeG4183 crowdG3793 was comingG2064 to Him, saidG3004 to 8PhilipG5376, “WhereG4159 are we to buyG59 breadG740 soG2443 thatG2443 theseG3778 people may eatG2068?”
6But He was sayingG3004 thisG3778 only to 9testG3985 him, for He HimselfG846 knewG3609 whatG5101 He intendedG3195 to doG4160.
710PhilipG5376 answeredG611 Him, “11TwoG1250 hundredG1250 12denariiG1220 worth of breadG740 is not enoughG714 for them, for eachG1538 to receiveG2983 just a littleG1024!”
8OneG1520 of His 13disciplesG3101, 14AndrewG406, SimonG4613 Peter’sG4074 brotherG80, saidG3004 to Him,
9“There is a boyG3808 hereG5602 whoG3739 hasG2192 fiveG4002 barleyG2916 loavesG740 and twoG1417 15fishG3795; but whatG5101 are theseG3778 for soG5118 manyG5118 people?”
10JesusG2424 saidG3004, “HaveG4160 the peopleG444 reclineG377 to eat.” NowG1161 there was 16plentyG4183 of grassG5528 in the placeG5117. SoG3767 the menG435 reclinedG377, aboutG5613 1718fiveG4000 thousandG4000 in numberG706.
11JesusG2424 thenG3767 tookG2983 the loavesG740, and 19after givingG2168 thanksG2168 He distributedG1239 them to thoseG3588 who were recliningG345; likewiseG3668 alsoG2532 of the 20fishG3795, as muchG3745 as they wantedG2309.
12And whenG5613 they had eatenG1705 their fillG1705, He saidG3004 to His 21disciplesG3101, “GatherG4863 upG4863 the leftoverG4052 piecesG2801 soG2443 thatG2443 nothingG3361G5100 will be lostG622.”
13SoG3767 they gatheredG4863 them upG4863, and filledG1072 twelveG1427 22basketsG2894 with piecesG2801 from the fiveG4002 barleyG2916 loavesG740 whichG3739 were leftG4052 overG4052 by thoseG3588 who had eatenG977.
