John 6:1-6

Five Thousand Fed

1 After these things ¹Jesus went away to the other side of ²the Sea of Galilee (or ³Tiberias ).

2 A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the ⁴signs which He was performing on those who were sick.

3 Then ⁵Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.

4 Now ⁶the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

5 Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, said to ⁷Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?"

6 This He was saying to ⁸test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.
