John 6:4-10

⁴The time for the Jewish festival of the Passover was approaching.

⁵When Jesus looked up, and saw a large crowd coming towards him, he asked Philip, “Where can we buy enough bread to feed all these people?”

⁶He only asked this to see how Philip would respond, because Jesus already knew what he was going to do.

⁷“Two hundred silver coins wouldn't buy enough bread to give everyone even just a little,” Philip replied.

⁸One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up.

⁹“There's a boy here who has five barley loaves and a couple of fish, but what good is that when there are so many people?”

¹⁰“Have everybody sit down,” Jesus said. There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down, the men numbering around five thousand.
