John 6:1-15

1Afterwards, Yeshua went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also known as the Sea of Tiberias.

2A large crowd kept following Him, because they were watching the signs He was performing on the sick.

3Then Yeshua went up the mountainside and sat down there with His disciples.

4Passover, the Jewish feast, was near.

5Lifting up His eyes and seeing a large crowd coming to Him, Yeshua said to Philip, “Where will we buy bread so these may eat?”

6Now Yeshua was saying this to test him, for He knew what He was about to do.

7Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii isn’t enough to buy bread for each to get a little bit!”

8One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,

9“There’s a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish—but what’s that for so many?”

10Yeshua said, “Make the people recline.” There was much grass in the area. So the men reclined, about five thousand in number.

11Then Yeshua picked up the loaves. And having given thanks, He distributed bread to everyone who was reclining. He did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.

12When the people were full, Yeshua said to His disciples, “Gather up the leftovers, so nothing is wasted.”

13So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had finished eating.

14When the people saw the sign that Yeshua performed, they began to say, “This is most certainly the Prophet who is to come into the world!”

15Realizing that they were about to come and seize Him by force to make Him king, Yeshua withdrew again to the mountain, Himself alone.
