John 6:5-14 (Gospel)
- 5
- Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?”
- 6
- But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
- 7
- Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.”
- 8
- One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
- 9
- There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?
- 10
- Then Jesus said, “Make the people 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 them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.
- 12
- So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”
- 13
- Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.
- 14
- Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, “This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
