* After these things , Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee , that is , of Tiberias ; * and there was following him a great multitude , because they had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick . * But Jesus had gone up into the mountain , and , there , was sitting with his disciples . * Now the passover was near , the feast of the Jews . * So then Jesus , lifting up his eyes , and beholding that a great multitude was coming unto him , saith unto Philip Whence are we to buy loaves , that these may eat ? * But , this , he was saying , to test him ; for , he himself , knew , what he was about to do . * Philip answered him Two hundred denaries-worth of loaves , are not sufficient for them , that , each one , may take , a little . * One from among his disciples , Andrew , the brother of Simon Peter , saith unto him * There is a little lad here , that hath five barley loaves , and two small fishes , but , these , what are they , for such numbers ? * Jesus said Make the people recline . Now there was much grass in the place . So the men reclined , to the number of about five thousand . * Jesus therefore took the loaves , and , giving thanks , went on distributing unto them that reclined ; in like manner , of the small fishes also : as much as they were wishing . * And , when they were well-filled , he saith unto his disciples Gather up the broken pieces left over , that nothing be lost . * So they gathered them up , and filled twelve baskets , with broken pieces out of the five barley loaves , which were left over by them who had eaten . * The people , therefore , seeing what signs he wrought , began to say This , is , of a truth , the prophet who was to come into the world . * Jesus , therefore , getting to know that they were about to come , and seize him , that they might make him king , retired again into the mountain , himself , alone .
