John:6:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
After these things ,
Jesus went over the sea of Galilee ,
the sea of Tiberias ,
*
And a great multitude followed him ,
because they had seen the miracles which he did on the diseased .
*
But Jesus went up into a mountain ,
and sat there with his disciples .
*
And the passover ,
a feast of the Jews ,
was nigh .
*
Jesus then lifting up his eyes ,
and seeing a great multitude coming to him ,
saith to Philip ,
Whence shall we buy bread ,
that these may eat ?
* (
But this he said ,
trying him ;
for he himself knew what he intended to do .)
*
Philip answered him ,
Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them ,
that each of them may take a little .
*
One of his disciples ,
Andrew ,
Simon Peter '
s brother ,
saith to him ,
Here is a lad ,
who hath five barley-loaves and two small fishes :
*
but what are they among so many ?
*
Jesus said ,
Make the men sit down . (
Now there was much grass in the place )
So the men sat down ,
in number about five thousand .
*
Then Jesus took the loaves ,
and having given thanks ,
distributed to the disciples ,
and the disciples to them that were sat down ,
and likewise of the fishes as much as they would .
*
When they were filled ,
he saith to his disciples ,
Gather up the fragments which remain ,
that nothing be lost .
*
They therefore gathered them ,
and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley-loaves ,
which remained over and above to them that had eaten .
*
Then those men ,
having seen the miracle which Jesus did ,
said ,
Of a truth this is the prophet that was to come into the world .
