John 6:2-17

²And a greet multitude suede hym; for thei sayn the tokenes, that he dide on hem that weren sijke.

³Therfor Jhesus wente in to an hil, and sat there with hise disciplis.

⁴And the paske was ful niy, a feeste dai of the Jewis.

⁵Therfor whanne Jhesus hadde lift vp hise iyen, and hadde seyn, that a greet multitude cam to hym, he seith to Filip, Wherof schulen we bie looues, that these men ete?

⁶But he seide this thing, temptynge hym; for he wiste what he was to do.

⁷Filip answerde to hym, The looues of tweyn hundrid pans sufficen not to hem, that ech man take a litil what.

⁸Oon of hise disciplis, Andrew, the brothir of Symount Petre,

⁹seith to him, A child is here, that hath fyue barli looues and twei fischis; but what ben these among so manye?

¹⁰Therfor Jhesus seith, Make ye hem sitte to the mete. And there was myche hey in the place. And so men saten to the mete, as `fyue thousynde in noumbre.

¹¹And Jhesus took fyue looues, and whanne he hadde do thankyngis, he departide to men that saten to the mete, and also of the fischis, as myche as thei wolden.

¹²And whanne thei weren fillid, he seide to hise disciplis, Gadir ye the relifs that ben left, that thei perischen not.

¹³And so thei gadriden, and filliden twelue cofyns of relif of the fyue barli looues and twei fischis, that lefte to hem that hadden etun.

¹⁴Therfor tho men, whanne thei hadden seyn the signe that he hadde don, seiden, For this is verili the profete, that is to come in to the world.

¹⁵And whanne Jhesus hadde knowun, that thei weren to come to take hym, and make hym kyng, he fleiy `aloone eft in to an hille.

¹⁶And whanne euentid was comun, his disciplis wenten doun to the see.

¹⁷And thei wenten vp in to a boot, and thei camen ouer the see in to Cafarnaum. And derknessis weren maad thanne, and Jhesus was not come to hem.
