bwe John:6:1-15
bwe@John:6:1 @ Then Jesus crossed over the sea of Galilee. (Another name for this sea was Tiberias.)
bwe@John:6:2 @ Many people followed him because they saw the big works he had done in healing the sick people.
bwe@John:6:3 @ Jesus went up on a hill and sat down with his disciples.
bwe@John:6:4 @ The time for the Passover Feast of the Jews was near.
bwe@John:6:5 @ When Jesus looked up, he saw many people coming to him. He said to Philip, Where shall we buy food for these people to eat?
bwe@John:6:6 @ Jesus knew what he himself would do, but he said this to see what Philip would do.
bwe@John:6:7 @ Philip answered him, It would take nearly a years wages to buy enough food for them, even if each one gets only a little.
bwe@John:6:8 @ One of Jesus disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, talked to Jesus.
bwe@John:6:9 @ He said, A boy here has five loaves of bread and two small fish. But what can that little bit of food do for so many people?
bwe@John:6:10 @ Jesus said, Tell the people to sit down. Much grass was there. The number of men who sat down was about five thousand.
bwe@John:6:11 @ Then Jesus took the bread and thanked God for it. He gave it to the disciples and they divided it among those who were sitting. He did the same thing with the fish. The people had all they wanted.
bwe@John:6:12 @ When they had eaten enough, he said to his disciples, Gather up all the pieces that are left so that nothing will be lost.
bwe@John:6:13 @ They gathered all the pieces of the five loaves. Twelve baskets full were left over after all the people had eaten enough.
bwe@John:6:14 @ When those men saw the big work that Jesus did, they said, Truly, this is the Prophet that is to come into the world.
bwe@John:6:15 @ The people wanted to take Jesus by force to make him a king. When he saw this, he left again and went on the hill by himself.
