John 6:1-15

Rotherham^{(i) 1} After these things, Jesus went away across the sea of Galilee, that is, of Tiberias; ² and there was following him a great multitude, because they had been viewing the signs which he did upon such as were sick. ³ But Jesus had gone up into the mountain, and, there, was sitting with his disciples. ⁴ Now the passover was near, the feast of the Jews. ⁵ So then Jesus, lifting up his eyes, and beholding that a great multitude was coming unto him, saith unto Philip––Whence are we to buy loaves, that these may eat? ⁶ But, this, he was saying, to test him; for, he himself, knew, what he was about to do. ⁷ Philip answered him––Two hundred denaries–worth of loaves, are not sufficient for them, that, each one, may take, a little. ⁸ One from among his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith unto him–– ⁹ There is a little lad here, that hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes,––but, these,––what are they, for such numbers? ¹⁰ Jesus said––Make the people recline. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men reclined, to the number of about five thousand. ¹¹ Jesus therefore took the loaves, and, giving thanks, went on distributing unto them that reclined; in like manner, of the small fishes also: as much as they were wishing. ¹² And, when they were well–filled, he saith unto his disciples––Gather up the broken pieces left over, that nothing be lost. ¹³ So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets, with broken pieces out of the five barley loaves,––which were left over by them who had eaten. ¹⁴ The people, therefore, seeing what signs he wrought, began to say––This, is, of a truth, the prophet who was to come into the world.
¹⁵ Jesus, therefore, getting to know that they were about to come, and seize him, that they might make him king, retired again into the mountain, himself, alone.
