John 6:1-6

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

1 After this ¹Jesus went away to the other side of ²the Sea of Galilee, which is ³the Sea of Tiberias.

2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.

3 Jesus went up on ⁴the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.

4 Now ⁵the Passover, the ⁶feast of the Jews, was at hand.

5 ⁷Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to ⁸Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat? ”

6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
