John 6:1-15 — Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

John.6.1-15

¹After this, Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called Tiberias . ²A large crowd kept following him because they were seeing the signs that he was doing for the sick. ³Jesus went up the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. ⁴Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. ⁵So Jesus lifted up his eyes and, seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat?” ⁶He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was about to do. ⁷Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for them, for each one to receive even a little.” ⁸One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, ⁹“There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many?” ¹⁰Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand in number. ¹¹So Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks he distributed to those who were seated; he did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted. ¹²And when they were filled, he said to his disciples, “Gather the leftover pieces, so that nothing may be lost.” ¹³So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with pieces from the five barley loaves that were left over by those who had eaten. ¹⁴When the people saw the sign that he had done, they were saying, “This truly is the Prophet who is coming into the world.” ¹⁵Then Jesus, knowing that they were about to come and seize him in order to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
