John 6:4-15

⁴but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

⁵Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?

⁶But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.

⁷Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little portion.

⁸One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,

⁹There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?

¹⁰And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹¹And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed them to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.

¹²And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.

¹³They gathered them therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.

¹⁴The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.

¹⁵Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make him king, departed again to the mountain himself alone.
