Feeding the Five Thousand

6After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.G3326G5023G2424G565G4008G2281G1056G5085 2Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.G2532G4183G3793G190G846G3754G3708G846G4592G3739G4160G1909G770 3And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.G1161G2424G424G1519G3735G2532G1563G2521G3326G846G3101 4Now the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.G1161G3957G1859G2453G2258G1451 5Then 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?"G2424G3767G1869G3788G2532G2300G3754G4183G3793G2064G4314G846G3004G4314G5376G4159G59G740G2443G3778G5315 6But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.G1161G5124G3004G3985G846G1063G846G1492G5101G3195G4160 7Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little."G5376G611G846G1250G1220G740G714G3756G714G846G2443G1538G846G2983G5100G1024 8One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,G1520G1537G846G3101G406G4613G4074G80G3004G846 9"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?"G2076G1520G3808G5602G3739G2192G4002G2916G740G2532G1417G3795G235G5101G2076G5023G1519G5118 10Then 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.G1161G2424G2036G4160G444G377G1161G2258G4183G5528G1722G5117G3767G435G377G706G5616G4000 11And 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.G1161G2424G2983G740G2532G2168G1239G3101G1161G3101G345G2532G3668G1537G3795G3745G2309 12So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost."G1161G5613G1705G3004G846G3101G4863G2801G4052G3363G5100G622 13Therefore 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.G3767G4863G2532G1072G1427G2894G2801G1537G4002G2916G740G3739G4052G977 14Then 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.G2424G3767G1097G3754G3195G2064G2532G726G846G726G2443G4160G846G935G402G3825G1519G3735G846G3441 16Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,G1161G5613G3798G1096G846G3101G2597G1909G2281 17got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.G2532G1684G1519G4143G2064G4008G2281G1519G2584G2532G1096G2235G4653G2532G2424G2064G3756G2064G4314G846 18Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing.G5037G2281G1326G3173G417G4154 19So 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.G3767G1643G5613G4002G1501G2228G5144G4712G2334G2424G4043G1909G2281G2532G1096G1451G4143G2532G5399 20But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."G1161G3004G846G1510G1473G5399G3361G5399 21Then 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—G1887G3793G3588G2476G4008G2281G1492G3754G2258G3756G243G4142G1563G1508G1565G1520G1519G3739G846G3101G1684G2532G3754G2424G4897G3756G4897G846G3101G1519G4142G235G846G3101G565G3441 23however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks—G235G1161G2064G243G4142G1537G5085G1451G5117G3699G5315G740G2962G2168 24when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.G3753G3793G3767G1492G3754G2424G2076G3756G1563G3761G846G3101G846G2532G1684G1519G4143G2532G2064G1519G2584G2212G2424 25And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You come here?"G2532G2147G846G4008G2281G2036G846G4461G4219G1096G5602 26Jesus 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.G2424G611G846G2532G2036G281G281G3004G5213G2212G3165G3756G3754G1492G4592G235G3754G5315G1537G740G2532G5526 27"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."G2038G3361G1035G3588G622G235G1035G3588G3306G1519G166G2222G3739G5207G444G1325G5213G1063G5126G4972G2316G3962G4972 28Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"G3767G2036G4314G846G5101G4160G4160G2443G2038G2041G2316 29Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."G2424G611G2532G2036G846G5124G2076G2041G2316G2443G4100G1519G3739G1565G649 30Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?G2036G3767G846G5101G4592G4160G4771G3767G2443G1492G2532G4100G4671G5101G2038 31"Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"G2257G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2531G2076G1125G1325G846G740G1537G3772G5315 32Then 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.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3475G1325G5213G3756G740G1537G3772G235G3450G3962G1325G5213G228G740G1537G3772 33"For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."G1063G740G2316G2076G3588G2597G1537G3772G2532G1325G2222G2889 34Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always."G3767G2036G4314G846G2962G3842G1325G2254G5126G740 35And 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.G1161G2424G2036G846G1473G1510G740G2222G2064G4314G3165G3364G3983G2532G4100G1519G1691G1372G3364G4455G1372 36"But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.G235G2036G5213G3754G3708G2532G3708G3165G2532G4100G3756 37"All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.G3956G3739G3962G1325G3427G2240G4314G1691G2532G2064G4314G3165G1544G3364G1544G1854 38"For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.G3754G2597G1537G3772G3756G2443G4160G1699G2307G235G2307G3992G3165 39"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.G1161G5124G2076G3962G2307G3588G3992G3165G2443G3956G3739G1325G3427G622G3361G1537G846G235G450G846G450G1722G2078G2250 40"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."G2453G3767G1111G4012G846G3754G2036G1473G1510G740G3588G2597G1537G3772 42And 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'?"G2532G3004G2076G3756G3778G2424G5207G2501G3739G3962G2532G3384G2249G1492G4459G3767G3778G3004G3754G2597G1537G3772 43Jesus therefore answered and said to them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.G2424G3767G611G2532G2036G846G1111G3361G3326G240 44"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G3962G3588G3992G3165G1670G846G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250 45"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.G2076G1125G1722G4396G2532G2071G3956G1318G2316G3956G3767G191G2532G3129G3844G3962G2064G4314G3165 46"Not that anyone has seen the Father, except He who is from God; He has seen the Father.G3756G3754G5100G3708G3962G1508G3588G3844G5607G2316G3778G3708G3962 47"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.G281G281G3004G5213G4100G1519G1691G2192G166G2222 48"I am the bread of life.G1473G1510G740G2222 49"Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and are dead.G5216G3962G5315G3131G1722G2048G2532G599 50"This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die.G3778G2076G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G3363G5100G5315G1537G846G2532G3363G599 51"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."G1473G1510G2198G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G1437G5100G5315G1537G5127G740G2198G1519G165G1161G2532G740G3739G1473G1325G2076G3450G4561G3739G1473G1325G5228G2222G2889 52The Jews therefore quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this Man give us His flesh to eat?"G2453G3767G3164G4314G240G3004G4459G1410G3778G1325G2254G4561G5315 53Then 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.G3767G2424G2036G846G281G281G3004G5213G3362G5315G4561G5207G444G2532G4095G846G129G2192G3756G2222G1722G1438 54"Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.G5176G3450G4561G2532G4095G3450G129G2192G166G2222G2532G1473G450G846G450G2078G2250 55"For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink indeed.G1063G3450G4561G2076G1035G230G2532G3450G129G2076G4213G230 56"He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.G5176G3450G4561G2532G4095G3450G129G3306G1722G1698G2504G1722G846 57"As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will live because of Me.G2531G2198G3962G649G3165G2504G2198G1223G3962G2532G5176G3165G2548G2198G1223G1691 58"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."G3778G2076G740G3588G2597G1537G3772G3756G2531G5216G3962G5315G3131G2532G599G5176G5126G740G2198G1519G165 59These 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?"G4183G3767G1537G846G3101G191G2036G3778G2076G4642G3056G5101G1410G191G846 61When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, "Does this offend you?G1161G2424G1492G1722G1438G3754G846G3101G1111G4012G5127G2036G846G5124G4624G5209 62"What then if you should see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?G3767G1437G2334G5207G444G305G3699G2258G4386 63"It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.G2076G4151G2227G4561G3756G5623G3762G4487G3739G1473G2980G5213G2076G4151G2532G2076G2222 64"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.G235G1526G5100G1537G5216G3739G4100G3756G1063G2424G1492G1537G746G5101G1526G4100G3361G2532G5101G2076G3860G846 65And 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."G2532G3004G1223G5124G2046G5213G3754G3762G1410G2064G4314G3165G3362G5600G1325G846G1537G3450G3962 66From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.G1537G5127G4183G846G3101G565G1519G3694G2532G4043G3765G3326G846 67Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?"G3767G2036G2424G1427G3361G2309G5210G2532G5217 68But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.G3767G4613G4074G611G846G2962G4314G5101G565G2192G4487G166G2222 69"Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."G2532G2249G4100G2532G1097G3754G4771G1488G5547G5207G2198G2316 70Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?"G2424G611G846G1586G3756G1473G1586G5209G1427G2532G1520G1537G5216G2076G1228 71He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.G1161G3004G2455G2469G4613G1063G3778G3195G3860G846G5607G1520G1537G1427
