Feeding the Five Thousand

6After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.G3326G5023G2424G565G4008G2281G1056G50852Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.G2532G4183G3793G190G846G3754G3708G846G4592G3739G4160G1909G7703And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.G1161G2424G424G1519G3735G2532G1563G2521G3326G846G31014Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.G1161G3957G1859G2453G2258G14515Then 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?"G2424G3767G1869G3788G2532G2300G3754G4183G3793G2064G4314G846G3004G4314G5376G4159G59G740G2443G3778G53156But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.G1161G5124G3004G3985G846G1063G846G1492G5101G3195G41607Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little."G5376G611G846G1250G1220G740G714G3756G714G846G2443G1538G846G2983G5100G10248One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,G1520G1537G846G3101G406G4613G4074G80G3004G8469"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?"G2076G1520G3808G5602G3739G2192G4002G2916G740G2532G1417G3795G235G5101G2076G5023G1519G511810Then 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.G1161G2424G2036G4160G444G377G1161G2258G4183G5528G1722G5117G3767G435G377G706G5616G400011And 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.G1161G2424G2983G740G2532G2168G1239G3101G1161G3101G345G2532G3668G1537G3795G3745G230912So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost."G1161G5613G1705G3004G846G3101G4863G2801G4052G3363G5100G62213Therefore 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.G3767G4863G2532G1072G1427G2894G2801G1537G4002G2916G740G3739G4052G97714Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."G3767G444G1492G4592G3739G2424G4160G3004G3754G3778G2076G230G4396G2064G1519G2889

Jesus Walks on the Sea

15Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.G2424G3767G1097G3754G3195G2064G2532G726G846G726G2443G4160G846G935G402G3825G1519G3735G846G344116Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,G1161G5613G3798G1096G846G3101G2597G1909G228117got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.G2532G1684G1519G4143G2064G4008G2281G1519G2584G2532G1096G2235G4653G2532G2424G2064G3756G2064G4314G84618Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing.G5037G2281G1326G3173G417G415419So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.G3767G1643G5613G4002G1501G2228G5144G4712G2334G2424G4043G1909G2281G2532G1096G1451G4143G2532G539920But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."G1161G3004G846G1510G1473G5399G3361G539921Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.G3767G2309G2983G846G1519G4143G2532G2112G4143G1096G1909G1093G1519G3739G5217

The Bread from Heaven

22On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone—G1887G3793G3588G2476G4008G2281G1492G3754G2258G3756G243G4142G1563G1508G1565G1520G1519G3739G846G3101G1684G2532G3754G2424G4897G3756G4897G846G3101G1519G4142G235G846G3101G565G344123however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks—G235G1161G2064G243G4142G1537G5085G1451G5117G3699G5315G740G2962G216824when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.G3753G3793G3767G1492G3754G2424G2076G3756G1563G3761G846G3101G846G2532G1684G1519G4143G2532G2064G1519G2584G2212G242425And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You come here?"G2532G2147G846G4008G2281G2036G846G4461G4219G1096G560226Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.G2424G611G846G2532G2036G281G281G3004G5213G2212G3165G3756G3754G1492G4592G235G3754G5315G1537G740G2532G552627"Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."G2038G3361G1035G3588G622G235G1035G3588G3306G1519G166G2222G3739G5207G444G1325G5213G1063G5126G4972G2316G3962G497228Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"G3767G2036G4314G846G5101G4160G4160G2443G2038G2041G231629Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G5124G2076G2041G2316G2443G4100G1519G3739G1565G64930Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?G2036G3767G846G5101G4592G4160G4771G3767G2443G1492G2532G4100G4671G5101G203831"Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"G2257G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2531G2076G1125G1325G846G740G1537G3772G531532Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3475G1325G5213G3756G740G1537G3772G235G3450G3962G1325G5213G228G740G1537G377233"For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."G1063G740G2316G2076G3588G2597G1537G3772G2532G1325G2222G288934Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always."G3767G2036G4314G846G2962G3842G1325G2254G5126G74035And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.G1161G2424G2036G846G1473G1510G740G2222G2064G4314G3165G3364G3983G2532G4100G1519G1691G1372G3364G4455G137236"But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.G235G2036G5213G3754G3708G2532G3708G3165G2532G4100G375637"All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.G3956G3739G3962G1325G3427G2240G4314G1691G2532G2064G4314G3165G1544G3364G1544G185438"For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.G3754G2597G1537G3772G3756G2443G4160G1699G2307G235G2307G3992G316539"This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.G1161G5124G2076G3962G2307G3588G3992G3165G2443G3956G3739G1325G3427G622G3361G1537G846G235G450G846G450G1722G2078G225040"And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."G1161G5124G2076G2307G3992G3165G2443G3956G3588G2334G5207G2532G4100G1519G846G2192G166G2222G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250

Rejected by His Own

41The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."G2453G3767G1111G4012G846G3754G2036G1473G1510G740G3588G2597G1537G377242And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, 'I have come down from heaven'?"G2532G3004G2076G3756G3778G2424G5207G2501G3739G3962G2532G3384G2249G1492G4459G3767G3778G3004G3754G2597G1537G377243Jesus therefore answered and said to them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.G2424G3767G611G2532G2036G846G1111G3361G3326G24044"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G3962G3588G3992G3165G1670G846G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G225045"It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.G2076G1125G1722G4396G2532G2071G3956G1318G2316G3956G3767G191G2532G3129G3844G3962G2064G4314G316546"Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.G3756G3754G5100G3708G3962G1508G3588G3844G5607G2316G3778G3708G396247"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.G281G281G3004G5213G4100G1519G1691G2192G166G222248"I am the bread of life.G1473G1510G740G222249"Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.G5216G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2532G59950"This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.G3778G2076G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G3363G5100G5315G1537G846G2532G3363G59951"I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."G1473G1510G2198G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G1437G5100G5315G1537G5127G740G2198G1519G165G1161G2532G740G3739G1473G1325G2076G3450G4561G3739G1473G1325G5228G2222G288952The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?"G2453G3767G3164G4314G240G3004G4459G1410G3778G1325G2254G4561G531553Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3362G5315G4561G5207G444G2532G4095G846G129G2192G3756G2222G1722G143854"Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.G5176G3450G4561G2532G4095G3450G129G2192G166G2222G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G225055"For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.G1063G3450G4561G2076G1035G230G2532G3450G129G2076G4213G23056"He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.G5176G3450G4561G2532G4095G3450G129G3306G1722G1698G2504G1722G84657"As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.G2531G2198G3962G649G3165G2504G2198G1223G3962G2532G5176G3165G2548G2198G1223G169158"This is the bread which came down from heaven—not as your fathers ate the manna, and are dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."G3778G2076G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G3756G2531G5216G3962G5315G3131G2532G599G5176G5126G740G2198G1519G16559These things He said in the synagogue as He taught in Capernaum.G5023G2036G1722G4864G1321G1722G2584

Many Disciples Turn Away

60Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying; who can understand it?"G4183G3767G1537G846G3101G191G2036G3778G2076G4642G3056G5101G1410G191G84661When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you?G1161G2424G1492G1722G1438G3754G846G3101G1111G4012G5127G2036G846G5124G4624G520962"What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?G3767G1437G2334G5207G444G305G3699G2258G438663"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.G2076G4151G2227G4561G3756G5623G3762G4487G3739G1473G2980G5213G2076G4151G2532G2076G222264"But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him.G235G1526G5100G1537G5216G3739G4100G3756G1063G2424G1492G1537G746G5101G1526G4100G3361G2532G5101G2076G3860G84665And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father."G2532G3004G1223G5124G2046G5213G3754G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G5600G1325G846G1537G3450G396266From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.G1537G5127G4183G846G3101G565G1519G3694G2532G4043G3765G3326G84667Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?"G3767G2036G2424G1427G3361G2309G5210G2532G521768But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.G3767G4613G4074G611G846G2962G4314G5101G565G2192G4487G166G222269"Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."G2532G2249G4100G2532G1097G3754G4771G1488G5547G5207G2198G231670Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"G2424G611G846G1586G3756G1473G1586G5209G1427G2532G1520G1537G5216G2076G122871He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.G1161G3004G2455G2469G4613G1063G3778G3195G3860G846G5607G1520G1537G1427
