John 6:1-9 ▼

1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).

2 Now a large crowd was following Him, because they were seeing the signs which He was doing on those who were sick.

3 Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He was sitting down with His disciples.

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

5 Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, said to Philip, “Where should we buy bread, so that these people may eat?”

6 And this He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was going to do.

7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little.”

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

9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?”
