Yochanan 6:4-12

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴ Pesach was near at hand, the Chag (Jewish Feast).

⁵ Therefore, having lifted up his eyes, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw that a great multitude is coming to him, and he says to Philippos, From where may we buy lechem that these ones may eat?

⁶ But he was saying this to test Philippos, for he himself knew what he was about to do.

⁷ In reply, Philippos said, Two hundred denarii worth of lechem would not be enough that each one may take a little okhel.

⁸ One of his talmidim, Andrew, ach of Shimon Kefa, says to him,

⁹ There is a na’ar (lad) here who has five barley loaves and two dagim (fish), but what are these for so many? [2Kg 4:43]

¹⁰ Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Instruct the anashim (men) to recline. Now there was much grass in the area. Therefore the anashim reclined, their number being about chameshet alafim.

¹¹ Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the loaves and, having made the bracha, distributed to the ones bimesibba (reclining); likewise also he distributed of the dagim (fish) as much as they were wanting.

¹² Now when they were filled, he tells his talmidim, Gather the shirayim (Rebbe’s leftovers), that nothing may be lost.
