John 6:1-10

1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, that is Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him; for they saw the tokens, that he did on them that were sick.
3 Therefore Jesus went into an hill, and sat there with his disciples [and there he sat with his disciples].
4 And the pask was full nigh, a feast day of the Jews.
5 Therefore when Jesus had lifted up his eyes, and had seen, that a great multitude came to him, he saith to Philip, Whereof shall we buy loaves, that these men eat?
6 But he said this thing, tempting him; for he knew what he was to do.
7 Philip answered to him, The loaves of two hundred pence suffice not to them, that each man take a little what.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him,
9 A child is here, that hath five barley loaves and two fishes; but what be these among so many?
10 Therefore Jesus saith, Make them sit to the meat [Make ye men to sit at the meat]. And there was much hay in the place. And so men sat to the meat, as five thousand in number [Therefore men sat at the meat, in number as five thousand].
