1
After these things Jesus went over the
sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed
him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 3
And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 And
the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. 5 When Jesus then lifted up his
eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip,
Whence shall we buy bread, that these
may eat? 6 And this he said to
prove 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 of them
may take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith
unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small
fishes: but what are they among so many? 10 And Jesus said,
Make the men sit down.
Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five
thousand. 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he
distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and
likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 12 When they were filled, he said
unto his disciples,
Gather up the fragments that remain,
that nothing be lost. 13
Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the
fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them
that had eaten. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus
did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
