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.
11Jesus took the bread, gave thanks, and had it handed out to the people as they sat there. Then he did the same with the fishes, making sure the people had as much as they wanted.
12Once they were all full, he said to his disciples, “Collect what's left over so nothing is wasted.”
13So they collected and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves the people had eaten.
14When the people saw this miracle, they said, “Surely this is the Prophet who was to come into the world.”
15Jesus realized that they were about to force him to become their king, so he left them and went up into the hills to be by himself.
16When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
17climbed into a boat, and headed across the water towards Capernaum. By now it was night and Jesus had not joined them yet.
18A strong wind began blowing and the sea grew rough.
19When they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, coming towards the boat. They were very frightened.
20“Don't be afraid!” he told them. “It's me.”
21Then they gladly took him into the boat, and immediately they reached the shore where they were going.
22The next day the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea noticed that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but they had left without him.
23Then other boats arrived from Tiberias, landing near to the place where they'd eaten the bread once the Lord had blessed it.
24Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went over to Capernaum, looking for Jesus.
25When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”
26“I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “you're looking for me because you ate as much bread as you wanted, not because you understood the miracles.
27Don't be preoccupied about food that doesn't last, but concentrate on the lasting food of eternal life which the Son of man will give you, for God the Father has placed his seal of approval on him.”
28So they asked him, “What do we have to do in order to do what God wants?”
29Jesus replied, “What God wants you to do is to trust in the one he sent.”
30“What miracle are you going to perform for us to see so we can trust you? What are you able to do?” they asked.
31“Our forefathers ate manna in the desert in fulfillment of the Scripture that says, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32“I tell you the truth, it wasn't Moses who gave you bread from heaven,” Jesus replied. “It's my Father who gives you the true bread of heaven.
33For the bread of God is the one who comes from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34“Lord, please give us this kind of bread all the time!” they said.
35“I am the bread of life,” Jesus replied. “Anyone who comes to me will never be hungry again, and anyone who trusts in me will never be thirsty again.
36But as I explained to you before, you have seen me, but you still don't trust me.
37All those the Father gives me will come to me, and I won't reject any of them.
38For I came down from heaven not to do what I want, but to do what the one who sent me wants.
39What he wants is for me not to lose anyone he has given to me, but for me to raise them up at the last day.
40What my Father wants is for everyone who sees the Son and trusts in him to have eternal life, and for me to raise them up at the last day.”
