John 6:5-18

⁵When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come to him, he saith to Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?

⁶(And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.)

⁷Philip answered him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them make take a little:

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

⁹There is a lad here, who hath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

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

¹¹And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would.

¹²When they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, Gather the fragments that remain, that nothing may be lost.

¹³Therefore they gathered them , and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.

¹⁴Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus performed, said, This is truly that prophet that should come into the world.

¹⁵When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again to a mountain himself alone.

¹⁶And when evening had now come, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷And entered into a boat, and went over the sea towards Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.

¹⁸And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
