The Twelve Return, And Jesus Retires With
Them Across The Lake. Five Thousand Are
Fed
64. John 6:1-14
1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which
is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him,
because they saw his miracles which he did on them that
were diseased. 3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and
there he sat with his disciples. 4 And the passover, a feast of
the Jews, was nigh. 5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and
saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip,
Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this
he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is
not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a
little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother,
saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley
loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so
many? 10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now
there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in
number about five thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves;
and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples,
and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of
the fishes as much as they would. 12 When they were filled,
he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that
remain, that nothing be lost. 13 Therefore they gathered them
together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the
five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them
that had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the
miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet
that should come into the world.
