Seeker Overlay ON
*
After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee ,
which is [
the sea ]
of Tiberias .
*
And a great multitude followed him ,
because they were watching the signs which he did on those who were sick .
*
And Jesus went up into the mountain ,
and there he sat with his disciples .
*
Now the Passover ,
the feast of the Jews ,
was at hand .
*
Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes ,
and seeing that a great multitude comes to him ,
says to Philip ,
From where are we to buy bread ,
that these may eat ?
*
And this he said to prove him :
for he himself knew what he would do .
*
Philip answered him , $
20 ,
000 worth of bread is not sufficient for them ,
that each may take a little .
*
One of his disciples ,
Andrew ,
Simon Peter '
s brother ,
says to him ,
*
There is a lad here ,
who has five barley loaves ,
and two fish :
but what are these among so many ?
*
Jesus said ,
Make the people sit down .
Now there was much grass in the place .
So the men sat down ,
in number about five thousand .
*
Jesus therefore took the loaves ;
and having given thanks ,
he distributed to those who were set down ;
likewise also of the fish as much as they would .
*
And when they were filled ,
he says to his disciples ,
Gather up the broken pieces which remain over ,
that nothing be lost .
*
So they gathered them up ,
and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves ,
which remained over to those who had eaten .
*
When therefore the men saw the sign which he did ,
they said ,
This is of a truth the prophet that comes into the world .
