Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

1 After this *For ver. 1-13, see Matt. 14:13-21;Mark 6:32-44;Luke 9:10-17Jesus went away to the other side of *See Matt. 4:18the Sea of Galilee, which is *ch. 21:1the Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3 Jesus went up on *ver. 15the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 Now *ch. 2:13;11:55;See Ex. 12the Passover, the *ch. 5:1;7:2feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 *Luke 6:20Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to *ch. 1:44Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?"6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 *[Mark 6:37]Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii*6:7 A denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little." 8 One of his disciples, *ch. 1:40,44Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 "There is a boy here who has five *2 Kgs. 4:42,43barley loaves and two fish, but *2 Kgs. 4:42,43what are they for so many?" 10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down."*[Mark 6:39]Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and *ver. 23;See Matt. 15:36when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost."13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, *See ch. 4:19"This is indeed *ch. 1:21;7:40;See Matt. 21:11the Prophet *ch. 11:27;See Matt. 11:3who is to come into the world!"
