* After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee , [the Sea ] of Tiberias . * And a great multitude followed Him , because they saw His miracles which He did on the sick ones . * And Jesus went up into a mountain and sat there with His disciples . * And the Passover was near , a feast of the Jews . * Then Jesus lifted up [His ] eyes and saw a great crowd come to Him . He said to Philip , Where shall we buy loaves so that these may eat ? * And He said this to test him , for He Himself knew what He would do . * Philip answered Him , Loaves for two hundred denarii are not enough for them , that every one may take a little . * One of His disciples , Andrew , Simon Peter 's brother , said to Him , * There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish , but what are these among so many ? * And Jesus said , Make the men recline . And there was much grass in the place . So the men reclined , about five thousand in number . * And Jesus took the loaves , and when He had given thanks , He distributed to the disciples , and the disciples to those who had reclined ; and likewise of the fish , as much as they wanted . * And when they were filled , He said to His disciples , Gather up the fragments left over , so that nothing is lost . * Therefore they gathered and filled twelve handbaskets with fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over to those who had eaten . * Then seeing the miracle that Jesus did , those men said , This is truly the Prophet , the [One ] coming into the world . * Therefore when Jesus perceived that they would come and take Him by force , that they might make Him a king , Jesus withdrew again to the mountain alone [by ] Himself .
