John 6:1-9 ▼

1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the Sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

2 and there was following Him a great multitude, because they were seeing His signs that He was doing on the ailing;

3 and Jesus went up to the mountain, and He was sitting with His disciples there,

4 and the Passover was near, the celebration of the Jews.

5 Jesus then having lifted up [His] eyes and having seen that a great multitude comes to Him, says to Philip, “From where will we buy loaves, that these may eat?”

6 And this He said, trying him, for He Himself had known what He was about to do.

7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little”;

8 one of His disciples—Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter—says to Him,

9 “There is one little boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes, but these—what are they to so many?”
