WPNT(i)
1 After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, or Tiberias.
2 And a huge crowd was following Him because they had seen His signs that He kept performing on the sick.
3 So Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down there with His disciples.
4 (Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.)
5 Then, raising His eyes and observing that a huge crowd was coming toward Him, Jesus says to Philip, “Where shall we buy bread so that these folks may eat?”
6 Now He said this to test him, for He Himself knew what He was about to do.
7 Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread wouldn’t be enough for them, so that each of them could receive a little.”
8 One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, says to Him,
9 “There’s a little boy here who has five loaves of barley bread and two small fish, but what are they for so many?”
10 Then Jesus said, “Make the people sit down.” Now there was plenty of grass in the place; so the men sat down, about five thousand in number.
11 Then Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were reclining; so too with the fish, as much as they wanted.
12 So when they were full He says to His disciples, “Collect the leftover fragments so that nothing be wasted.”
13 So they collected and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves that were left over from those who had eaten.
14 Now then, having seen the miraculous sign that Jesus performed the men said, “This One really is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
15 So Jesus, perceiving that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew up the mountain again by Himself, alone.
