John 6:1-13 NIV
1
Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of
Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias),
2
and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the
miraculous signs he had performed on the sick.
3
Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his
disciples.
4
The Jewish Passover Feast was near.
5
When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he
said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"
6
He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he
was going to do.
7 Philip answered him, "Eight months' wages would not buy
enough bread for each one to have a bite!"
8 Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,
spoke up,
9
"Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but
how far will they go among so many?"
10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of
grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of
them.
11
Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those
who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the
fish.
12 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his
disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be
wasted."
13
So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of
the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.
