7Philip replied to him, “ Even if we had the amount of money a man earns in eight months, that would not be enough to buy bread so that each person could have a little bit!”
8Another one of us disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's younger brother, said to Jesus,
9“There is a boy here who has five small barley loaves and two cooked fish. But ◄they will not help much among so many people!/what good will that do among so many people?► RHQ”
10Jesus said, “Tell the people to sit down!” There was plenty of grass there, so they all sat down comfortably. There were about five thousand men among the crowd .
11Then Jesus took the small loaves and the fish and thanked God for them. Then he gave them to us, and we distributed the small loaves and the fish to all the people sitting on the ground. Because God caused the food to keep increasing, everyone ate as much as they wanted.
12When everyone had all the food they wanted, he said to us disciples, “Gather up the pieces that are left over. Do not let anything be wasted!”
13So we gathered up the pieces of the small loaves that were left over by those who had eaten. We filled twelve baskets with those pieces!
14After the people saw that miracle that Jesus had performed, many of them started to say, “Surely this is the prophet like Moses that God promised to send to the world!”
15So, because Jesus realized that they were about to come and seize him to make him their king, he left them again and went up into the hills by himself.
16When it was evening, we disciples went down to Galilee Lake.
17When it became dark and Jesus had still not joined us, we got into a boat and went across the lake towards Capernaum city.
18A strong wind started to blow and caused the water ◄to become very rough/to have high waves►.
19After we had rowed ◄three or four miles/five or six kilometers►, we saw Jesus coming near the boat; he was walking on the water! So we were terrified!
20But he said to us, “Do not be afraid! It is I!”
21We were glad to take him into the boat. As soon as we did that, the boat reached the shore where we were going!
22The next day the crowd of people that had stayed on the other side of the lake were perplexed about how Jesus had left that area. They knew that there had been only one boat there the previous day. They knew that we had gone away in it by ourselves. They knew that Jesus had not gone with us.
23Then some men came from Tiberias city in boats. They were hoping to take some of the crowd back to Tiberias. They arrived near the place where the people had eaten the food after Jesus had given thanks and caused it to multiply.
24When the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor we disciples were there, some of them got into those boats and they sailed to Capernaum to find Jesus.
25When they found him in Capernaum further around the lake, they asked him, “Teacher, since you(sg) did not come in a boat, when and how did you get here?”
26Jesus replied to them, “Listen to this carefully: Do you know why you are looking for me? It is not because you saw me perform miracles and as a result have realized who I really am. No! You are looking for me only because you had plenty of bread to eat after I provided it for you by performing a miracle.
