John 6:4-15

⁴Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

⁵Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these people may eat?”

⁶But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He was about to do.

⁷Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, that each of them might receive a little.”

⁸One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,

⁹“There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they for so many?”

¹⁰Then Jesus said, “Make the people to recline.” Now there was much grass in that place. Therefore the men reclined, in number about five thousand.

¹¹And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were reclining; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wished.

¹²And when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, so that nothing may be lost.”

¹³Therefore they gathered them up, and they filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

¹⁴Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

¹⁵Therefore Jesus, knowing that they were about to come and seize Him, that they might make Him king, withdrew to the mountain by Himself.
