John 6:1-9 ▼

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

2 A large crowd was following Him, because they were watching the signs which He was performing on those who were sick.

3 But Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.

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

5 So Jesus, after raising His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat?”

6 But He was saying this only to test him, for He Himself knew what He intended to do.

7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough for them, for each to receive just 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?”
