John 6:1-7

English Standard Version

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

6 After this ^(A)Jesus went away to the other side of ^(B)the Sea of Galilee, which is ^(C)the Sea of Tiberias. ²And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. ³Jesus went up on ^(D)the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. ⁴Now ^(E)the Passover, the ^(F)feast of the Jews, was at hand. ⁵^(G)Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to ^(H)Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” ⁶He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. ⁷^(I)Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii^[a] worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.”
