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.
15. When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take
him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a
mountain himself alone.
