John 6:1-9 ▼

1 Jesus later crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or the Sea of Tiberias).

2 A large crowd followed him because they saw the miracles that he performed for the sick.

3 Jesus went up a mountain and sat with his disciples.

4 The time for the Jewish Passover festival was near.

5 As Jesus saw a large crowd coming to him, he said to Philip, |Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?|

6 Jesus asked this question to test him. He already knew what he was going to do.

7 Philip answered, |We would need about a year's wages to buy enough bread for each of them to have a piece.|

8 One of Jesus' disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, told him,

9 |A boy who has five loaves of barley bread and two small fish is here. But they won't go very far for so many people.|
