John 6:5-9 So Jesus, looking up and seeing a large crowd coming to Him, said to Philip : Note: He was one of the apostles, whose home town was at nearby Bethsaida. See, “Where are we going to buy enough bread, so that this crowd can eat?”

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ So Jesus, looking up and seeing a large crowd coming to Him, said to Philip [Note: He was one of the apostles, whose home town was at nearby Bethsaida. See 1:44], “Where are we going to buy [enough] bread, so that this crowd can eat?” ⁶ Now He said this to test Philip, for He [already] knew what He was going to do. ⁷ Philip answered Him, “Not even two hundred coins’ worth of bread would be enough to feed them if everyone ate only a little bit.” [Note: The amount here indicated was two hundred days of a farm laborer’s pay, or about $14,000 in 1994]. ⁸ [Then] one of His disciples, named Andrew, [who was] Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, ⁹ “There is a little boy here who has five [small] loaves of barley bread and two [probably smoked] fish. But what is this amount for [feeding] so many people?”
