John 6:2-18

[2] a great  multitude  followed  him,  because  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,  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  to prove  him:  for  he himself  knew  what  he would  do.  [7] Philip  answered  him,  Two hundred  pennyworth  of bread  not  sufficient  for them,  that  every one  of them  may take  little.  [8] One  of  his  disciples,  Andrew,  Simon  Peter's  brother,  saith  unto him,  [9] lad  here,  which  hath  five  barley  loaves,  and  two  small fishes:  but  what  among  so many?  [10] And  Jesus  said,  Make  the men  sit down.  Now  much  grass  in  the place.  So  the men  sat down,  in number  five thousand.  [11] Jesus  took  the loaves;  and  when he had given thanks,  he distributed  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,  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,  the miracle  that  did,  This  of a truth  that prophet  that should come  into  the world.  [15] When Jesus  therefore  perceived  that  they would  come  and  him  by force,  to  make  him  a king,  he departed  again  into  a mountain  himself  alone.  [16] And  when  even  was now come,  his  disciples  went down  unto  the sea,  [17] And  entered  into  a ship,  and went  over  the sea  toward  Capernaum.  And  it was  now  dark,  and  Jesus  come  to  them.  [18] And  the sea  arose  by reason of a great  wind  that blew.
