Five Thousand Fed<\/p>
1<\/span>After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias). 2<\/span>A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the signs which He was performing on those who were sick. 3<\/span>Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples. 4<\/span>Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. 5<\/span>Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to Philip, \u201cWhere are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?\u201d<\/span> 6<\/span>This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do. 7<\/span>Philip answered Him, \u201cTwo hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little.\u201d 8<\/span>One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter\u2019s brother, *said to Him, 9<\/span>\u201cThere is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?\u201d 10<\/span>Jesus said, \u201cHave the people sit down.\u201d<\/span> Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11<\/span>Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted. 12<\/span>When they were filled, He *said to His disciples, \u201cGather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost.\u201d<\/span> <\/p>")
