⁶This he sayde to prove him: for he him sylfe knewe what he wolde do.

⁷Philip answered him two hondred peny worthe of breed are not sufficient for them that every man have a litell.

⁸Then sayde vnto him one of his disciples Andrew Simon Peters brother.

⁹There ys a lad here which hath fyve barly loves and two fisshes: but what is that amonge so many?

¹⁰And Iesus sayde. Make the people sit doune: Ther was moche grasse in the place. And the men sate doune in nombre about five thousande.

¹¹And Iesus toke the breed and gave thankes and gave to the disciples and his disciples to them that were set doune. And lykwyse of the fysshes as moche as they wolde.

¹²When they had eate ynough he sayd vnto his disciples: gadder vp the broke meate that remayneth: that nothinge be loost.

¹³And they gadered it to geder and fylled twelve baskettes with the broken meate of the five barly loves which broken meate remayned vnto the that had eaten.

¹⁴Then the men when they had sene the myracle that Iesus dyd sayde: This is of a trueth the Prophet that shuld come into the worlde.

¹⁵When Iesus perceaved that they wolde come and take him vp to make him kinge he departed agayne into a mountayne him silfe a lone.

¹⁶And when even was come his disciples wet vnto the see

¹⁷and entred into a shyppe and went over the see vnto Capernaum. And anone it was darcke and Iesus was not come to them.

¹⁸And the see arose with a greate winde that blew.

¹⁹And when they had rowe aboute a .xxv. or a xxx. furlonges they sawe Iesus walke on the see and drawe nye vnto the shyp and they were afrayed.

²⁰And he sayde vnto them: It is I be not a frayde.

²¹Then wolde they have receaved him into the shyp and the ship was by and by at the londe whyther they went.

²²The daye folowynge the people which stode on the other syde of the see sawe that ther was none other shyp theare save that one wher in his disciples were entred and that Iesus went not in with his disciples into the ship: but that his disciples were gone awaye alone.

²³How be it, ther came other shippes from Tiberias nye vnto the place where they ate breed when the Lorde had blessed.

²⁴Then when the people sawe that Iesus was not there nether his disciples they also toke shippinge and came to Caparnaum sekinge for Iesus.

²⁵And when they had founde him on the other syde of the see they sayd vnto him: Rabbi when camest thou hidder?

²⁶Iesus answered them and sayde: verely verely I saye vnto you: ye seke me not because ye sawe the myracles: but because ye ate of the loves and were filled.

²⁷Laboure not for the meate which perissheth but for the meate that endureth vnto everlastynge lyfe whiche meate the sonne of man shall geve vnto you. For him hath god the father sealed.

²⁸Then sayd they vnto him: what shall we do that we myght worke the workes of God?

²⁹Iesus answered and sayde vnto them. This is the worke of God that ye beleve on him who he hath sent.

³⁰They sayde vnto him: what signe shewest thou then that we maye se and beleve the? What doest thou worke?

³¹Oure fathers dyd eate Manna in the desert as that is writte: He gave them breed from heaven to eate.

³²Iesus sayde vnto the: verely verely I saye vnto you: Moses gave you breed from heaven: but my father geveth you the true breed from heaven.

³³For the breed of God is he which cometh doune from heaven and geveth lyfe vnto the worlde.

³⁴Then sayde they vnto him: Lorde ever moore geve vs this breed.
