John 6:1-15

Revised Geneva Translation

6 After these things, Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is Tiberias.

² And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on those who were diseased.

³ Then Jesus went up onto a mountain. And there He sat with His disciples.

⁴ Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

⁵ Then Jesus lifted up His eyes. And seeing that a great multitude came to Him, he said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, so that these might eat?”

⁶ (He said this to test him. For He knew what he would do.)

⁷ Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denari worth of bread is not sufficient for them, if every one of them takes a little.”

⁸ Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, one of His disciples, said to Him,

⁹ “There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves, and two fishes. But what are they among so many?”

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

¹¹ And Jesus took the bread, and gave thanks, and gave it to the disciples. And the disciples gave to those who were sitting down; and likewise of the fishes, as much as they wanted.

¹² And when they were satisfied, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces which remain, so that nothing is lost.”

¹³ Then they gathered it up and filled twelve baskets with the broken pieces of the five barley loaves, which remained from those who had eaten.

¹⁴ Then the men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet Who is to come into the world.”

¹⁵ Therefore, when Jesus perceived that they would come and take Him to make him a king, He departed again into a mountain by Himself.
