The Feeding of Five Thousand

After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee (that is, Tiberias). And a large crowd was following him because they were observing the signs that he was doing on those who were sick. So Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. (Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.) Then Jesus, when he looked up[a] [b] and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these people can eat?” (Now he said this to test him, because he knew what he was going to do.) Philip replied to him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for them, in order that each one could receive a little.” One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, “Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?” 10 Jesus said, “Make the people recline.” (Now there was a lot of grass in the place.) So the men reclined, approximately five thousand in number. 11 Then Jesus took the bread, and after he[c] had given thanks, he distributed it[d] to those who were reclining—likewise also of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they were satisfied, he said to his disciples, “Gather the remaining fragments so that nothing is lost.” 13 So they gathered them,[e] and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

14 Now when[f] the people saw the sign that he performed, they began to say,[g] “This one is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world!” 15 Then Jesus, because he[h] knew that they were about to come and seize him in order to make him[i] king, withdrew again up the mountain by himself alone.

Jesus Walks on the Water

16 Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the sea. 17 And getting into a boat, they began to go[j] to the other side of the sea, to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 And the sea began to be stirred up[k] because[l] a strong wind was blowing. 19 Then when they[m] had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia,[n] they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid. 20 But he said to them, “It is I! Do not be afraid!” 21 So they were wanting to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land to which they were going.

Discourse About the Bread of Life

22 On the next day, the crowd that was on the other side of the sea saw that other boats were not there (except one), and that Jesus had not entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had departed alone. 23 Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they had eaten the bread after[o] the Lord had given thanks. 24 So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

25 And when they[p] found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?” 26 Jesus replied to them and said, “Truly, truly I say to you, you seek me not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were satisfied! 27 Do not work for the food that perishes, but the food that remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has set his seal on this one.”

28 So they said to him, “What shall we do that we can accomplish the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God: that you believe in the one whom that one sent.” 30 So they said to him, “Then what sign will you perform, so that we can see it[q] and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[r]

32 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, Moses did not give you bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven! 33 For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34 So they said to him, “Sir, always give us this bread!”

35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never be hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty again. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and do not believe. 37 Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never throw out, 38 because I have come down from heaven not that I should do my will, but the will of the one who sent me. 39 Now this is the will of the one who sent me: that everyone whom he has given me, I would not lose any of them,[s] but raise them[t] up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks at the Son and believes in him would have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”

41 Now the Jews began to grumble[u] about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,” 42 and they were saying, “Is this one not Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered and said to them, “Do not grumble among yourselves![v] 44 No one is able to come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’[w] Everyone who hears from the Father and learns comes to me. 46 (Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God—this one has seen the Father.)[x] 47 Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life. 48 I am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness and they died. 50 This is the bread that comes down from heaven so that someone may eat from it and not die. 51 I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever.[y] And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

52 So the Jews began to quarrel[z] among themselves,[aa] saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?” 53 Then Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life in yourselves! 54 The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 The one who eats[ab] my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me and I in him. 57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so also the one who eats[ac] me—that one will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not as the fathers ate and died. The one who eats[ad] this bread will live forever.”[ae]

Many of Jesus’ Disciples Offended by His Teaching

59 He said these things while[af] teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. 60 Thus many of his disciples, when they[ag] heard it,[ah] said, “This saying is hard! Who can understand it?” 61 But Jesus, because he[ai] knew within himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, said to them, “Does this cause you to be offended? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before? 63 The Spirit is the one who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. 64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) 65 And he said, “Because of this I said to you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by the Father.”

Peter’s Confession

66 For this reason many of his disciples drew back[aj] and were not walking with him any longer. 67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do you?”[ak] 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 And we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Jesus replied to them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is the devil?” 71 (Now he was speaking about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, because this one—one of the twelve—was going to betray him.)

After meta this houtos Jesus Iēsous went aperchomai to · ho the other peran side of the ho Sea thalassa of ho Galilee Galilaia (also called the Sea of ho Tiberias Tiberias). A large polys crowd ochlos was following akoloutheō · de him autos because hoti they saw theōreō the ho miraculous signs sēmeion that hos he was performing poieō on epi those ho who were sick astheneō. Jesus Iēsous went anerchomai up · de on eis the ho mountainside oros, and kai he sat down kathēmai there ekei with meta · ho his autos disciples mathētēs. ( Now de the ho Passover pascha, the ho great festival heortē of the ho Jews Ioudaios, was eimi at hand engys.) When Jesus Iēsous lifted epairō up his ho eyes ophthalmos · ho and kai saw theaomai that hoti a large polys crowd ochlos was coming erchomai toward pros him autos, he said legō to pros Philip Philippos, “ Where pothen can we buy agorazō bread artos so hina that these people houtos may eat esthiō?” He said legō this houtos · de to test peirazō him autos, because gar he himself autos knew oida what tis he was about mellō to do poieō. Philip Philippos answered apokrinomai him autos, · ho Two hundred diakosioi denarii dēnarion worth of bread artos is not ou enough arkeō for them autos, that hina each hekastos one may receive lambanō a tis little brachus.” One heis of ek · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, Andrew Andreas, · ho Simon Simōn Peter’ s Petros brother adelphos, said legō to him autos, There is eimi a little paidarion boy here hōde who hos has echō five pente barley krithinos loaves artos and kai two dyo fish opsarion, but alla what tis are eimi they houtos for eis so many tosoutos?” 10 Jesus Iēsous said legō, · ho Have poieō the ho people anthrōpos sit anapiptō down .” ( There was eimi · de plenty polys of grass chortos in en that ho place topos.) So oun the ho men anēr sat anapiptō down , about hōs five thousand pentakischilioi · ho in number arithmos. 11 Then oun Jesus Iēsous took lambanō the ho loaves artos, · ho and kai after he had given eucharisteō thanks , distributed diadidōmi them to those ho who were sitting anakeimai down ; and kai he did the same homoiōs with ek the ho fish opsarion, as much hosos as they wanted thelō. 12 And de when hōs the people had eaten empiplēmi their fill , he said legō to ho his autos disciples mathētēs, “ Gather synagō up the ho leftover perisseuō pieces klasma, so hina that nothing mē tis will go to waste apollymi.” 13 So oun they gathered synagō them up and kai filled gemizō twelve dōdeka baskets kophinos with broken klasma pieces of ek the ho five pente barley krithinos loaves artos · ho that hos were left perisseuō over by those ho who had eaten bibrōskō. 14 So oun when the ho people anthrōpos saw the miraculous sign sēmeion that hos Jesus had performed poieō, they began to say legō, “ This houtos is eimi truly alēthōs the ho prophet prophētēs who ho was to come erchomai into eis the ho world kosmos.” 15 Therefore oun when Jesus Iēsous realized ginōskō that hoti they were about mellō to come erchomai and kai take harpazō him autos by force to hina make poieō him king basileus, he autos withdrew anachōreō again palin up eis the ho mountainside oros alone monos.

16 Now de when hōs evening opsia had come ginomai, his autos disciples mathētēs went katabainō down · ho to epi the ho lake thalassa, 17 · kai got embainō into eis a boat ploion and started erchomai across peran the ho sea thalassa to eis Capernaum Kapharnaoum. · kai It had ginomai by then ēdē become ginomai dark skotia, and kai Jesus Iēsous had not oupō yet come erchomai to pros them autos. · ho 18 The ho sea thalassa was getting rough diegeirō because a strong megas wind anemos had started to blow pneō. 19 When they had rowed elaunō about hōs three or four miles stadion, they saw theōreō · ho Jesus Iēsous walking peripateō on epi the ho lake thalassa and kai coming ginomai near engys the ho boat ploion, and kai they were terrified phobeomai. 20 But de he ho said legō to them autos, “ It is eimi I egō; do not be afraid phobeomai.” 21 Then oun they were glad thelō to take lambanō him autos into eis the ho boat ploion, and kai at once eutheōs the ho boat ploion reached ginomai the ho shore toward eis which hos they were going hypagō.

22 On the ho next epaurion day the ho crowd ochlos · ho was standing histēmi on the other peran side of the ho lake thalassa. They knew that hoti only ei one heis boat ploiarion had been eimi there ekei, and kai that hoti Jesus Iēsous had not ou gotten syneiserchomai into eis the ho boat ploion with · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, · ho but alla that the ho disciples mathētēs had left aperchomai without monos him autos. 23 However, other allos boats ploion from ek Tiberias Tiberias had come erchomai ashore near engys the ho place topos where hopou they had eaten esthiō the ho bread artos after the ho Lord kyrios had given thanks eucharisteō. 24 So oun when hote the ho crowd ochlos realized that hoti Jesus Iēsous was eimi not ou there ekei, nor oude · ho his autos disciples mathētēs, they autos got embainō into eis the ho boats ploiarion and kai went erchomai to eis Capernaum Kapharnaoum looking zēteō for · ho Jesus Iēsous.

25 And kai when they found heuriskō him autos on the other peran side of the ho lake thalassa, they said legō to him autos, “ Rabbi rhabbi, when pote did you come ginomai here hōde?” 26 Jesus Iēsous responded apokrinomai to them autos, · ho · kai saying legō, “ I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, you are not ou looking zēteō for me egō because hoti you saw miraculous sēmeion signs , but alla because hoti you ate esthiō the ho loaves artos and kai had all you wanted chortazō. 27 Do not work ergazomai for the ho food brōsis that ho perishes apollymi, but alla for the ho food brōsis that ho lasts menō for eis eternal aiōnios life zōē, which hos the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos will give didōmi you hymeis; for gar on him houtos God theos the ho Father patēr has set sphragizō his seal .” · ho 28 Therefore oun they said legō to pros him autos, “ What tis must we do poieō to hina carry ergazomai out the ho works ergon · ho God theos requires?” 29 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai, · ho · kai saying legō to them autos, “ This houtos is eimi the ho work ergon that ho God theos requires, that hina you believe pisteuō in eis him whom hos he ekeinos has sent apostellō.” 30 Then oun they said legō to him autos, “ So oun what tis miraculous sign sēmeion will you sy perform poieō that hina we may see it and kai believe pisteuō in you sy? What tis will you do ergazomai? 31 · ho Our hēmeis fathers patēr ate esthiō · ho manna manna in en the ho wilderness erēmos; as kathōs it is eimi written graphō, ‘ He gave didōmi them autos bread artos from ek · ho heaven ouranos to eat esthiō.’” 32 Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, it was not ou Moses Mōysēs who gave didōmi you hymeis the ho bread artos from ek · ho heaven ouranos, but alla it is · ho my egō Father patēr who gives didōmi you hymeis the ho true alēthinos bread artos from ek · ho heaven ouranos. · ho 33 For gar the ho bread artos of ho God theos is eimi that ho which comes katabainō down from ek · ho heaven ouranos and kai gives didōmi life zōē to the ho world kosmos.” 34 So oun they said legō to pros him autos, “ Sir kyrios, give didōmi us hēmeis this houtos bread artos from now pantote on !” · ho

35 Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho I egō am eimi the ho bread artos of ho life zōē; the ho one who comes erchomai to pros me egō will never ou mē go hungry peinaō, and kai the ho one who believes pisteuō in eis me egō will never ou mē be thirsty dipsaō again pōpote. 36 But alla as I told legō you hymeis, · kai you have seen horaō me egō and kai still you do not ou believe pisteuō. 37 All pas that hos the ho Father patēr gives didōmi me egō will come hēkō to pros me egō, and kai anyone ho who comes erchomai to pros me egō I will never ou mē turn ekballō away exō. 38 For hoti I have come katabainō down from apo · ho heaven ouranos, not ou to hina do poieō · ho my own emos will thelēma · ho but alla to do the ho will thelēma of ho him who sent pempō me egō. 39 And de this houtos is eimi the ho will thelēma of the ho one who sent pempō me egō: that hina of all pas that hos he has given didōmi me egō I should lose apollymi none but alla raise anistēmi them autos up on en the ho last eschatos day hēmera. 40 For gar this houtos is eimi the ho will thelēma of ho my egō Father patēr, that hina everyone pas who ho considers theōreō the ho Son hyios and kai comes to believe pisteuō in eis him autos should have echō eternal aiōnios life zōē, and kai I egō will raise anistēmi him autos up on en the ho last eschatos day hēmera.”

41 Then oun the ho Jews Ioudaios began to grumble gongyzō about peri him autos because hoti he said legō, “ I egō am eimi the ho bread artos that ho came katabainō down from ek · ho heaven ouranos.” 42 And kai they were saying legō, “ Is eimi this houtos not ou Jesus Iēsous, the ho son hyios of Joseph Iōsēph, whose hos father patēr and kai mother mētēr we hēmeis know oida? · ho · ho How pōs can he now nyn say legō, ‘ I have come down katabainō from ek · ho heaven ouranos’?” 43 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai · kai them autos, saying legō, “ Do not keep grumbling gongyzō among meta yourselves allēlōn. 44 No oudeis one can dynamai come erchomai to pros me egō unless ean mē the ho Father patēr who ho sent pempō me egō draws him autos; and I kagō will raise anistēmi him autos up on en the ho last eschatos day hēmera. 45 It stands eimi written graphō in en the ho prophets prophētēs, ‘ And kai they will all pas be eimi taught didaktos by God theos.’ Everyone pas who ho has heard akouō the ho Father patēr and kai learned manthanō from para him comes erchomai to pros me egō. 46 Not ou that hoti anyone tis has seen horaō the ho Father patēr, except ei mē the ho one who is eimi from para · ho God theos; he houtos has seen horaō the ho Father patēr. 47 I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, the ho one who believes pisteuō has echō eternal aiōnios life zōē. 48 I egō am eimi the ho bread artos of ho life zōē. 49 · ho Your hymeis fathers patēr ate esthiō manna manna in en the ho wilderness erēmos, · ho and kai they died apothnēskō. 50 But here houtos is eimi the ho bread artos that ho comes down katabainō from ek · ho heaven ouranos, so hina that one tis may eat esthiō of ek it autos and kai not die apothnēskō. 51 I egō am eimi the ho living zaō bread artos · ho that ho came down katabainō from ek · ho heaven ouranos.

52 Then oun the ho Jews Ioudaios began to argue machomai with pros one allēlōn another , saying legō, “ How pōs can dynamai this houtos man give didōmi us hēmeis · ho his autos flesh sarx to eat esthiō?” 53 Jesus Iēsous therefore oun said legō to them autos, · ho I tell legō you hymeis the solemn amēn truth amēn, unless ean mē you eat esthiō the ho flesh sarx of the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos and kai drink pinō his autos · ho blood haima, you will have echō no ou life zōē in en you heautou. 54 The ho one who feeds trōgō on my egō · ho flesh sarx and kai drinks pinō my egō · ho blood haima has echō eternal aiōnios life zōē, and I kagō will raise anistēmi him autos up on the ho last eschatos day hēmera; 55 · ho for gar my egō flesh sarx is eimi real alēthēs food brōsis and kai · ho my egō blood haima is eimi real alēthēs drink posis. 56 The ho one who eats trōgō my egō · ho flesh sarx and kai drinks pinō my egō · ho blood haima dwells menō in en me egō, and I kagō in en him autos. 57 As kathōs the ho living zaō Father patēr sent apostellō me egō, and I kagō live zaō because dia of the ho Father patēr, so kai the ho one who feeds trōgō on me egō will live zaō because dia of me egō. 58 This houtos is eimi the ho bread artos that ho came down katabainō from ek heaven ouranos; it is not ou like kathōs that which your ho fathers patēr ate esthiō and kai died apothnēskō. The ho one who feeds trōgō on this houtos · ho bread artos will live zaō for eis all ho time aiōn.” 59 Jesus said legō these houtos things when he was teaching didaskō in en the synagogue synagōgē in en Capernaum Kapharnaoum.

60 Therefore oun, when a number polys of ek his autos disciples mathētēs heard akouō · ho it, they said legō, “ This houtos teaching logos is eimi difficult sklēros; · ho who tis can dynamai understand akouō it autos?” 61 But de Jesus Iēsous, aware oida · ho that hoti his autos disciples mathētēs were grumbling gongyzō about peri it houtos, · ho said legō to them autos, “ Does skandalizō this houtos offend skandalizō you hymeis? 62 Then oun what if ean you were to see theōreō the ho Son hyios of ho Man anthrōpos ascending anabainō to where hopou he was eimi · ho before proteros? 63 It is eimi the ho Spirit pneuma who ho gives zōiopoieō life ; the ho flesh sarx is useless ou. The ho words rhēma that hos I egō have spoken laleō to you hymeis are eimi spirit pneuma and kai life zōē. 64 But alla there are eimi some tis among ek you hymeis who hos do not ou believe pisteuō.” For gar from ek the beginning archē Jesus Iēsous knew oida · ho those tis who ho would not believe pisteuō, and kai who tis it was eimi who ho would betray paradidōmi him autos. 65 And kai he said legō, “ For dia this houtos reason I have said legō to you hymeis, ‘ No oudeis one can dynamai come erchomai to pros me egō unless ean mē it is eimi granted didōmi to him autos by ek the ho Father patēr.’”

66 From ek this houtos time, many polys of ek · ho his autos disciples mathētēs turned aperchomai back eis ho · ho and kai no ouketi longer associated peripateō with meta him autos. 67 Jesus oun therefore Iēsous said legō · ho to the ho twelve dōdeka, “ You hymeis do not want thelō to leave hypagō me like the others kai, do you?” 68 Simon Simōn Peter Petros answered apokrinomai him autos, “ Lord kyrios, to pros whom tis would we go aperchomai? You have echō the words rhēma of eternal aiōnios life zōē, 69 and kai we hēmeis have come to believe pisteuō and kai to know ginōskō that hoti you sy are eimi the ho Holy hagios One of ho God theos.” 70 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai them autos, · ho Did eklegomai I egō not ou choose eklegomai you hymeis, the ho twelve dōdeka? Yet kai one heis of ek you hymeis is eimi a devil diabolos.” 71 ( He was speaking legō · de of · ho Judas Ioudas, son of Simon Simōn Iscariot Iskariōtēs, for gar he houtos, one heis of ek the ho twelve dōdeka, was going mellō to betray paradidōmi him autos.)
