1
After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, [or] of Tiberias,
2
and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.
3
And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples:
4
but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
5
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?
6
But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.
7
Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little [portion].
8
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,
9
There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?
10
[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.
11
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.
