The Fourth Sign: Feeding 5,000

6After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).G3326G5023G2424G565G4008G2281G1056G5085
2And a huge crowd was following Him because they saw the signs that He was performing on the sick.G2532G4183G3793G190G846G3754G3708G846G4592G3739G4160G1909G770
3So Jesus went up a mountain and sat down there with His disciples.G1161G2424G424G1519G3735G2532G1563G2521G3326G846G3101
4Now the Passover, a Jewish festival, was near.G1161G3957G1859G2453G2258G1451
5Therefore, when Jesus looked up and noticed a huge crowd coming toward Him, He asked Philip, "Where will we buy bread so these people can eat?"G2424G3767G1869G3788G2532G2300G3754G4183G3793G2064G4314G846G3004G4314G5376G4159G59G740G2443G3778G5315
6He asked this to test him, for He Himself knew what He was going to do.G1161G5124G3004G3985G846G1063G846G1492G5101G3195G4160
7Philip answered, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread wouldn't be enough for each of them to have a little."G5376G611G846G1250G1220G740G714G3756G714G846G2443G1538G846G2983G5100G1024
8One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,G1520G1537G846G3101G406G4613G4074G80G3004G846
9"There's a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish— but what are they for so many?"G2076G1520G3808G5602G3739G2192G4002G2916G740G2532G1417G3795G235G5101G2076G5023G1519G5118
10Then Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, so they sat down. The men numbered about 5,000.G1161G2424G2036G4160G444G377G1161G2258G4183G5528G1722G5117G3767G435G377G706G5616G4000
11Then Jesus took the loaves, and after giving thanks He distributed them to those who were seated— so also with the fish, as much as they wanted.G1161G2424G2983G740G2532G2168G1239G3101G1161G3101G345G2532G3668G1537G3795G3745G2309
12When they were full, He told His disciples, "Collect the leftovers so that nothing is wasted."G1161G5613G1705G3004G846G3101G4863G2801G4052G3363G5100G622
13So they collected them and filled 12 baskets with the pieces from the five barley loaves that were left over by those who had eaten.G3767G4863G2532G1072G1427G2894G2801G1537G4002G2916G740G3739G4052G977
14When the people saw the sign He had done, they said, "This really is the Prophet who was to come into the world!"G3767G444G1492G4592G3739G2424G4160G3004G3754G3778G2076G230G4396G2064G1519G2889
15Therefore, when Jesus knew that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He withdrew again to the mountain by Himself.G2424G3767G1097G3754G3195G2064G2532G726G846G726G2443G4160G846G935G402G3825G1519G3735G846G3441

The Fifth Sign: Walking on Water

16When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,G1161G5613G3798G1096G846G3101G2597G1909G2281
17got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. Darkness had already set in, but Jesus had not yet come to them.G2532G1684G1519G4143G2064G4008G2281G1519G2584G2532G1096G2235G4653G2532G2424G2064G3756G2064G4314G846
18Then a high wind arose, and the sea began to churn.G5037G2281G1326G3173G417G4154
19After they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they were afraid.G3767G1643G5613G4002G1501G2228G5144G4712G2334G2424G4043G1909G2281G2532G1096G1451G4143G2532G5399
20But He said to them, "It is I. Don't be afraid!"G1161G3004G846G1510G1473G5399G3361G5399
21Then they were willing to take Him on board, and at once the boat was at the shore where they were heading.G3767G2309G2983G846G1519G4143G2532G2112G4143G1096G1909G1093G1519G3739G5217

The Bread of Life

22The next day, the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea knew there had been only one boat. [They also knew] that Jesus had not boarded the boat with His disciples, but that His disciples had gone off alone.G1887G3793G3588G2476G4008G2281G1492G3754G2258G3756G243G4142G1563G1508G1565G1520G1519G3739G846G3101G1684G2532G3754G2424G4897G3756G4897G846G3101G1519G4142G235G846G3101G565G3441
23Some boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord gave thanks.G235G1161G2064G243G4142G1537G5085G1451G5117G3699G5315G740G2962G2168
24When the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor His disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus.G3753G3793G3767G1492G3754G2424G2076G3756G1563G3761G846G3101G846G2532G1684G1519G4143G2532G2064G1519G2584G2212G2424
25When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You get here?"G2532G2147G846G4008G2281G2036G846G4461G4219G1096G5602
26Jesus answered, "I assure you: You are looking for Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate the loaves and were filled.G2424G611G846G2532G2036G281G281G3004G5213G2212G3165G3756G3754G1492G4592G235G3754G5315G1537G740G2532G5526
27Don't work for the food that perishes but for the food that lasts for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal of approval on Him."G2038G3361G1035G3588G622G235G1035G3588G3306G1519G166G2222G3739G5207G444G1325G5213G1063G5126G4972G2316G3962G4972
28"What can we do to perform the works of God?" they asked.G3767G2036G4314G846G5101G4160G4160G2443G2038G2041G2316
29Jesus replied, "This is the work of God: that you believe in the One He has sent."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G5124G2076G2041G2316G2443G4100G1519G3739G1565G649
30"What sign then are You going to do so we may see and believe You?" they asked. "What are You going to perform?G2036G3767G846G5101G4592G4160G4771G3767G2443G1492G2532G4100G4671G5101G2038
31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written: He gave them bread from heaven to eat."G2257G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2531G2076G1125G1325G846G740G1537G3772G5315
32Jesus said to them, "I assure you: Moses didn't give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the real bread from heaven.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3475G1325G5213G3756G740G1537G3772G235G3450G3962G1325G5213G228G740G1537G3772
33For the bread of God is the One who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."G1063G740G2316G2076G3588G2597G1537G3772G2532G1325G2222G2889
34Then they said, "Sir, give us this bread always!"G3767G2036G4314G846G2962G3842G1325G2254G5126G740
35"I am the bread of life," Jesus told them. "No one who comes to Me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in Me will ever be thirsty again.G1161G2424G2036G846G1473G1510G740G2222G2064G4314G3165G3364G3983G2532G4100G1519G1691G1372G3364G4455G1372
36But as I told you, you've seen Me, and yet you do not believe.G235G2036G5213G3754G3708G2532G3708G3165G2532G4100G3756
37Everyone the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will never cast out.G3956G3739G3962G1325G3427G2240G4314G1691G2532G2064G4314G3165G1544G3364G1544G1854
38For I have come down from heaven, not to do My will, but the will of Him who sent Me.G3754G2597G1537G3772G3756G2443G4160G1699G2307G235G2307G3992G3165
39This is the will of Him who sent Me: that I should lose none of those He has given Me but should raise them up on the last day.G1161G5124G2076G3962G2307G3588G3992G3165G2443G3956G3739G1325G3427G622G3361G1537G846G235G450G846G450G1722G2078G2250
40For this is the will of My Father: that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day."G1161G5124G2076G2307G3992G3165G2443G3956G3588G2334G5207G2532G4100G1519G846G2192G166G2222G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250
41Therefore the Jews started complaining about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."G2453G3767G1111G4012G846G3754G2036G1473G1510G740G3588G2597G1537G3772
42They were saying, "Isn't this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can He now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?"G2532G3004G2076G3756G3778G2424G5207G2501G3739G3962G2532G3384G2249G1492G4459G3767G3778G3004G3754G2597G1537G3772
43Jesus answered them, "Stop complaining among yourselves.G2424G3767G611G2532G2036G846G1111G3361G3326G240
44No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day.G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G3962G3588G3992G3165G1670G846G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250
45It is written in the Prophets: And they will all be taught by God. Everyone who has listened to and learned from the Father comes to Me—G2076G1125G1722G4396G2532G2071G3956G1318G2316G3956G3767G191G2532G3129G3844G3962G2064G4314G3165
46not that anyone has seen the Father except the One who is from God. He has seen the Father.G3756G3754G5100G3708G3962G1508G3588G3844G5607G2316G3778G3708G3962
47"I assure you: Anyone who believes has eternal life.G281G281G3004G5213G4100G1519G1691G2192G166G2222
48I am the bread of life.G1473G1510G740G2222
49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.G5216G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2532G599
50This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that anyone may eat of it and not die.G3778G2076G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G3363G5100G5315G1537G846G2532G3363G599
51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."G1473G1510G2198G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G1437G5100G5315G1537G5127G740G2198G1519G165G1161G2532G740G3739G1473G1325G2076G3450G4561G3739G1473G1325G5228G2222G2889
52At that, the Jews argued among themselves, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?"G2453G3767G3164G4314G240G3004G4459G1410G3778G1325G2254G4561G5315
53So Jesus said to them, "I assure you: Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life in yourselves.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3362G5315G4561G5207G444G2532G4095G846G129G2192G3756G2222G1722G1438
54Anyone who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day,G5176G3450G4561G2532G4095G3450G129G2192G166G2222G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250
55because My flesh is real food and My blood is real drink.G1063G3450G4561G2076G1035G230G2532G3450G129G2076G4213G230
56The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood lives in Me, and I in him.G5176G3450G4561G2532G4095G3450G129G3306G1722G1698G2504G1722G846
57Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me.G2531G2198G3962G649G3165G2504G2198G1223G3962G2532G5176G3165G2548G2198G1223G1691
58This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the manna your fathers ate— and they died. The one who eats this bread will live forever."G3778G2076G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G3756G2531G5216G3962G5315G3131G2532G599G5176G5126G740G2198G1519G165
59He said these things while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.G5023G2036G1722G4864G1321G1722G2584

Many Disciples Desert Jesus

60Therefore, when many of His disciples heard this, they said, "This teaching is hard! Who can accept it?"G4183G3767G1537G846G3101G191G2036G3778G2076G4642G3056G5101G1410G191G846
61Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were complaining about this, asked them, "Does this offend you?G1161G2424G1492G1722G1438G3754G846G3101G1111G4012G5127G2036G846G5124G4624G5209
62Then what if you were to observe the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?G3767G1437G2334G5207G444G305G3699G2258G4386
63The Spirit is the One who gives life. The flesh doesn't help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.G2076G4151G2227G4561G3756G5623G3762G4487G3739G1473G2980G5213G2076G4151G2532G2076G2222
64But there are some among you who don't believe." (For Jesus knew from the beginning those who would not believe and the one who would betray Him.)G235G1526G5100G1537G5216G3739G4100G3756G1063G2424G1492G1537G746G5101G1526G4100G3361G2532G5101G2076G3860G846
65He said, "This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted to him by the Father."G2532G3004G1223G5124G2046G5213G3754G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G5600G1325G846G1537G3450G3962
66From that moment many of His disciples turned back and no longer accompanied Him.G1537G5127G4183G846G3101G565G1519G3694G2532G4043G3765G3326G846
67Therefore Jesus said to the Twelve, "You don't want to go away too, do you?"G3767G2036G2424G1427G3361G2309G5210G2532G5217
68Simon Peter answered, "Lord, who will we go to? You have the words of eternal life.G3767G4613G4074G611G846G2962G4314G5101G565G2192G4487G166G2222
69We have come to believe and know that You are the Holy One of God!"G2532G2249G4100G2532G1097G3754G4771G1488G5547G5207G2198G2316
70Jesus replied to them, "Didn't I choose you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is the Devil!"G2424G611G846G1586G3756G1473G1586G5209G1427G2532G1520G1537G5216G2076G1228
71He was referring to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son, one of the Twelve, because he was going to betray Him.G1161G3004G2455G2469G4613G1063G3778G3195G3860G846G5607G1520G1537G1427
