John - ch 6 v 1 - 20
- After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.
- A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.
- Jesus went up into the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples.
- Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
- Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"
- This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
- Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."
- One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
- "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"
- Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
- Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.
- When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost."
- So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.
- When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."
- Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
- When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,
- and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
- The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.
- When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia,1 they saw Jesus walking on the sea,2 and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.
- But he said to them, "It is I3. Don't be afraid."
- 25 to 30 stadia is about 5 to 6 kilometers or about 3 to 4 miles
- see Job 9:8
- or, I AM
