Feeding the Five Thousand

6After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias.G3326G5023G2424G565G4008G2281G1056G5085 2A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick.G2532G4183G3793G190G846G3754G3708G846G4592G3739G4160G1909G770 3Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples.G1161G2424G424G1519G3735G2532G1563G2521G3326G846G3101 4Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.G1161G3957G1859G2453G2258G1451 5When he looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?"G2424G3767G1869G3788G2532G2300G3754G4183G3793G2064G4314G846G3004G4314G5376G4159G59G740G2443G3778G5315 6He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do.G1161G5124G3004G3985G846G1063G846G1492G5101G3195G4160 7Philip answered him, "Six months' wages would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little."G5376G611G846G1250G1220G740G714G3756G714G846G2443G1538G846G2983G5100G1024 8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,G1520G1537G846G3101G406G4613G4074G80G3004G846 9"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?"G2076G1520G3808G5602G3739G2192G4002G2916G740G2532G1417G3795G235G5101G2076G5023G1519G5118 10Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so they sat down, about five thousand in all.G1161G2424G2036G4160G444G377G1161G2258G4183G5528G1722G5117G3767G435G377G706G5616G4000 11Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted.G1161G2424G2983G740G2532G2168G1239G3101G1161G3101G345G2532G3668G1537G3795G3745G2309 12When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, "Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost."G1161G5613G1705G3004G846G3101G4863G2801G4052G3363G5100G622 13So they gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets.G3767G4863G2532G1072G1427G2894G2801G1537G4002G2916G740G3739G4052G977 14When the people saw the sign that he had done, they began to say, "This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world."G3767G444G1492G4592G3739G2424G4160G3004G3754G3778G2076G230G4396G2064G1519G2889 15When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself.G2424G3767G1097G3754G3195G2064G2532G726G846G726G2443G4160G846G935G402G3825G1519G3735G846G3441

Jesus Walks on the Water

16When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,G1161G5613G3798G1096G846G3101G2597G1909G2281 17got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.G2532G1684G1519G4143G2064G4008G2281G1519G2584G2532G1096G2235G4653G2532G2424G2064G3756G2064G4314G846 18The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing.G5037G2281G1326G3173G417G4154 19When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified.G3767G1643G5613G4002G1501G2228G5144G4712G2334G2424G4043G1909G2281G2532G1096G1451G4143G2532G5399 20But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."G1161G3004G846G1510G1473G5399G3361G5399 21Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the land toward which they were going.G3767G2309G2983G846G1519G4143G2532G2112G4143G1096G1909G1093G1519G3739G5217

The Bread from Heaven

22The next day the crowd that had stayed on the other side of the sea saw that there had been only one boat there. They also saw that Jesus had not got into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.G1887G3793G3588G2476G4008G2281G1492G3754G2258G3756G243G4142G1563G1508G1565G1520G1519G3739G846G3101G1684G2532G3754G2424G4897G3756G4897G846G3101G1519G4142G235G846G3101G565G3441 23Then some boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.G235G1161G2064G243G4142G1537G5085G1451G5117G3699G5315G740G2962G2168 24So when the crowd saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves 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 come here?"G2532G2147G846G4008G2281G2036G846G4461G4219G1096G5602 26Jesus answered them, "Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves.G2424G611G846G2532G2036G281G281G3004G5213G2212G3165G3756G3754G1492G4592G235G3754G5315G1537G740G2532G5526 27Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal."G2038G3361G1035G3588G622G235G1035G3588G3306G1519G166G2222G3739G5207G444G1325G5213G1063G5126G4972G2316G3962G4972 28Then they said to him, "What must we do to perform the works of God?"G3767G2036G4314G846G5101G4160G4160G2443G2038G2041G2316 29Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G5124G2076G2041G2316G2443G4100G1519G3739G1565G649 30So they said to him, "What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing?G2036G3767G846G5101G4592G4160G4771G3767G2443G1492G2532G4100G4671G5101G2038 31Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"G2257G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2531G2076G1125G1325G846G740G1537G3772G5315 32Then Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3475G1325G5213G3756G740G1537G3772G235G3450G3962G1325G5213G228G740G1537G3772 33For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."G1063G740G2316G2076G3588G2597G1537G3772G2532G1325G2222G2889 34They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always."G3767G2036G4314G846G2962G3842G1325G2254G5126G740 35Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.G1161G2424G2036G846G1473G1510G740G2222G2064G4314G3165G3364G3983G2532G4100G1519G1691G1372G3364G4455G1372 36But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.G235G2036G5213G3754G3708G2532G3708G3165G2532G4100G3756 37Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me I will never drive away;G3956G3739G3962G1325G3427G2240G4314G1691G2532G2064G4314G3165G1544G3364G1544G1854 38for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.G3754G2597G1537G3772G3756G2443G4160G1699G2307G235G2307G3992G3165 39And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.G1161G5124G2076G3962G2307G3588G3992G3165G2443G3956G3739G1325G3427G622G3361G1537G846G235G450G846G450G1722G2078G2250 40This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day."G1161G5124G2076G2307G3992G3165G2443G3956G3588G2334G5207G2532G4100G1519G846G2192G166G2222G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250 41Then the Jews began to complain about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."G2453G3767G1111G4012G846G3754G2036G1473G1510G740G3588G2597G1537G3772 42They were saying, "Is not 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, "Do not complain among yourselves.G2424G3767G611G2532G2036G846G1111G3361G3326G240 44No one can come to me unless drawn by the Father who sent me; and I will raise that person up on the last day.G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G3962G3588G3992G3165G1670G846G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250 45It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard 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 47Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes has eternal life.G281G281G3004G5213G4100G1519G1691G2192G166G2222 48I am the bread of life.G1473G1510G740G2222 49Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.G5216G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2532G599 50This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.G3778G2076G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G3363G5100G5315G1537G846G2532G3363G599 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh."G1473G1510G2198G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G1437G5100G5315G1537G5127G740G2198G1519G165G1161G2532G740G3739G1473G1325G2076G3450G4561G3739G1473G1325G5228G2222G2889 52The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"G2453G3767G3164G4314G240G3004G4459G1410G3778G1325G2254G4561G5315 53So Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3362G5315G4561G5207G444G2532G4095G846G129G2192G3756G2222G1722G1438 54Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day;G5176G3450G4561G2532G4095G3450G129G2192G166G2222G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250 55for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink.G1063G3450G4561G2076G1035G230G2532G3450G129G2076G4213G230 56Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them.G5176G3450G4561G2532G4095G3450G129G3306G1722G1698G2504G1722G846 57Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me.G2531G2198G3962G649G3165G2504G2198G1223G3962G2532G5176G3165G2548G2198G1223G1691 58This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live forever."G3778G2076G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G3756G2531G5216G3962G5315G3131G2532G599G5176G5126G740G2198G1519G165 59He said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue at Capernaum.G5023G2036G1722G4864G1321G1722G2584

The Words of Eternal Life

60When many of his disciples heard it, they said, "This teaching is difficult; who can accept it?"G4183G3767G1537G846G3101G191G2036G3778G2076G4642G3056G5101G1410G191G846 61But Jesus, being aware that his disciples were complaining about it, said to them, "Does this offend you?G1161G2424G1492G1722G1438G3754G846G3101G1111G4012G5127G2036G846G5124G4624G5209 62Then what if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?G3767G1437G2334G5207G444G305G3699G2258G4386 63It is the spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.G2076G4151G2227G4561G3756G5623G3762G4487G3739G1473G2980G5213G2076G4151G2532G2076G2222 64But among you there are some who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe, and who was the one that would betray him.G235G1526G5100G1537G5216G3739G4100G3756G1063G2424G1492G1537G746G5101G1526G4100G3361G2532G5101G2076G3860G846 65And he said, "For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father."G2532G3004G1223G5124G2046G5213G3754G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G5600G1325G846G1537G3450G3962 66Because of this many of his disciples turned back and no longer went about with him.G1537G5127G4183G846G3101G565G1519G3694G2532G4043G3765G3326G846 67So Jesus asked the twelve, "Do you also wish to go away?"G3767G2036G2424G1427G3361G2309G5210G2532G5217 68Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom can we go? 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 answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve? Yet one of you is a devil."G2424G611G846G1586G3756G1473G1586G5209G1427G2532G1520G1537G5216G2076G1228 71He was speaking of Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for he, though one of the twelve, was going to betray him.G1161G3004G2455G2469G4613G1063G3778G3195G3860G846G5607G1520G1537G1427
