* Afterward , Jesus crossed the sea of Galilee , also called of Tiberias ; * and a great multitude followed him , because they had seen the miraculous cures which he had performed . * And Jesus went up on a mountain ; where he sat down with his disciples . * Now the passover , the Jewish festival , was near . * Jesus , lifting up his eyes , and perceiving that a great multitude was flocking to him , said to Philip , * (This he said to try him ; for he knew himself , what he was to do .) * Philip answered , Two hundred denarii would not purchase bread enough to afford every one a morsel . * One of his disciples , Andrew , Simon Peter 's brother , said to him , * Here is a boy who has five barley loaves , and two small fishes ; but what are they among so many ? * Jesus said , Now , there was much grass in the place . So they reclined ; in number about five thousand . * And Jesus took the loaves , and having given thanks , distributed them to those who had reclined . He gave them also of the fishes , as much as they would . * When they had eat sufficiently , he said to his disciples , * They , therefore , gathered , and with the fragments which the people had left of the five barley loaves , they filled twelve baskets . * When those men had seen the miracle which Jesus had wrought they said , This is certainly the prophet who comes into the world . * Then Jesus , knowing that they intended to come and carry him off , to make him king , withdrew again , alone , to the mountain .
