1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they beheld the signs which he did on them that were sick. 3 And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. 4 Now the passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude cometh unto him, saith unto Philip, Whence are we to 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 shillings’ worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes: but what are these among so many? 10 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 Jesus therefore took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down; likewise also of the fishes as much as they would. 12 And when they were filled, he saith unto his disciples, Gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost. 13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which remained over unto them that had eaten. 14 When therefore the people saw the sign which he did, they said, This is of a truth the prophet that cometh into the world.

1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee (of Tiberias),

2 and there was following him a great multitude, because they were seeing his signs that he was doing on the ailing;

3 and Jesus went up to the mount, and he was there sitting with his disciples,

4 and the passover was nigh, the feast of the Jews.

5 Jesus then having lifted up [his] eyes and having seen that a great multitude doth come to him, saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves, that these may eat? --

6 and this he said, trying him, for he himself had known what he was about to do.

7 Philip answered him, Two hundred denaries worth of loaves are not sufficient to them, that each of them may receive some little;

8 one of his disciples -- Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter -- saith to him,

9 There is one little lad here who hath five barley loaves, and two fishes, but these -- what are they to so many?

10 And Jesus said, Make the men to sit down; and there was much grass in the place, the men then sat down, in number, as it were, five thousand,

11 and Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those reclining, in like manner, also of the little fishes as much as they wished.

12 And when they were filled, he saith to his disciples, Gather together the broken pieces that are over, that nothing may be lost;

13 they gathered together, therefore, and filled twelve hand-baskets with broken pieces, from the five barley loaves that were over to those having eaten.

14 The men, then, having seen the sign that Jesus did, said -- This is truly the Prophet, who is coming to the world;
