1After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee — that is, the sea of Tiberias.
2And a great number of people went after him because they saw the signs which he did on those who were ill.
3Then Jesus went up the mountain and was seated there with his disciples.
4Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.
5Lifting up his eyes, Jesus saw a great number of people coming to where he was, and he said to Philip, Where may we get bread for all these people?
6This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.
7Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.
8One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus,
9There is a boy here with five barley cakes and two fishes: but what is that among such a number?
10Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand.
11Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.
12And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted.
13So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough.
14And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world.
15Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.
16When evening came the disciples went down to the sea;
17And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.
18The sea was getting rough because of a strong wind which was blowing.
19After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear.
20But he said to them, It is I, have no fear.
21Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going.
22The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves.
23Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.
24So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus.
25And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?
26Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.
27Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.
28Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God?
29Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent.
30So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do?
31Our fathers had the manna in the waste land, as the Writings say, He gave them bread from heaven.
32Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
33The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.
