nsb - John:6:1-15

nsb@John:6:1 @ After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

nsb@John:6:2 @ A great crowd followed him because they saw the signs he performed on the sick.

nsb@John:6:3 @ Jesus and his disciples went to the mountain.

nsb@John:6:4 @ It was time for the Passover feast of the Jews.

nsb@John:6:5 @ Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming to him. He asked Philip: »Where will we buy enough bread to feed them?«

nsb@John:6:6 @ He said this to test him for he knew what he would do.

nsb@John:6:7 @ Philip answered: »Two hundred shillings worth of bread is not sufficient for everyone to take a little.«

nsb@John:6:8 @ Andrew, Simon Peters brother, one of his disciples said:

nsb@John:6:9 @ »There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish. What are these among so many?«

nsb@John:6:10 @ Jesus said: »Make the people sit down.« There were about five thousand men who sat down on the grass.

nsb@John:6:11 @ Jesus gave thanks and then he distributed the loaves along with the fish to those sitting on the grass.

nsb@John:6:12 @ When they were filled he told the disciples to gather up the broken pieces left over so nothing would be wasted.

nsb@John:6:13 @ They gathered twelve baskets of leftovers after everyone had eaten.

nsb@John:6:14 @ When the people saw the miracle performed they said: »Truly this is the prophet who came into the world.«

nsb@John:6:15 @ Jesus knew that they were about to take him by force and make him king. So he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
