- 1 Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of
Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), 2 and a great crowd of
people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had
performed on the sick. 3 Then Jesus went up on a mountainside a=
nd
sat down with his disciples. 4 The Jewish Passover Feast was ne=
ar.

- 5 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he s=
aid
to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?&q=
uot;
6 He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind wh=
at
he was going to do.
- 7 Philip answered him, "Eight months' wages would not buy enough
bread for each one to have a bite!"

- 8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up,=
9 "Here
is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how f=
ar
will they go among so many?"
|

|
- 10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plent=
y of
grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of th=
em.
- 11 Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those=
who
were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish.

- 12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples,
"Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.&q=
uot;
13 So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pie=
ces
of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

- 14 After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they beg=
an
to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the
world."
- 15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by fo=
rce,
withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
