1
After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias.
2
And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3
Jesus therefore went up into a mountain: and there he sat with his disciples.
4
Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand.
5
When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6
And this he said to try him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7
Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one may take a little.
8
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him:
9
There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves and two fishes. But what are these among so many?
10
Then 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 when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.
