John - ch 6 v 1 - 20
- After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, or of Tiberias,
- and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.
- And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples:
- but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
- Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?
- But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.
- Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little portion.
- One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,
- There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?
- And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.
- And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed them to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.
- And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.
- They gathered them therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.
- The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.
- Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make him king, departed again to the mountain himself alone.
- But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,
- and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them,
- and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.
- Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they were frightened.
- But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.
