John 6:1-15

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Jesus Returns To Galilee And Feeds The 5000

6 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee— of Tiberias^[a]. ² And a large crowd was following Him, because they were seeing the signs which He was doing on the ones being sick. ³ And Jesus went up on the mountain, and was sitting there with His disciples. ⁴ And the Passover, the Feast of the Jews, was near. ⁵ Then Jesus, having lifted-up His eyes and seen that a large crowd was coming to Him, says to Philip, “From where may we buy bread in order that these ones may eat?” ⁶ Now He was saying this testing him. For He Himself knew what He was going to do. ⁷ Philip answered Him, “Loaves worth two-hundred denarii^[b] are not enough for them, in order that each one may receive a little bit”. ⁸ One of His disciples— Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter— says to Him, ⁹ “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many?” ¹⁰ Jesus said, “Make the people fall-back [to eat]”. And there was much grass in the place. So the men— about five-thousand as to the number— fell back [to eat]. ¹¹ Then Jesus took the loaves. And having given-thanks, He distributed them to the ones reclining-back [to eat]— likewise also from the fish— as much as they were wanting. ¹² And when they were filled, He says to His disciples, “Gather the left-over fragments so that nothing may be lost”. ¹³ So they gathered, and filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves, which were left over by the ones having eaten. ¹⁴ Therefore the people, having seen the sign which He did, were saying that “This One is truly the Prophet^[c] coming into the world”. ¹⁵ Then Jesus, having known that they were about to come and take Him away-by-force in order that they might make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain, Himself alone.
