John 6:2-14

Legacy Standard Bible

² Now a large crowd was following Him, because they were seeing the ^[a](A)signs which He was doing on those who were sick. ³ Then ^(B)Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He was sitting down with His disciples. ⁴ Now ^(C)the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. ⁵ Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to ^(D)Philip, “Where should we buy bread, so that these people may eat?” ⁶ And this He was saying to ^(E)test him, for He Himself knew what He was going to do. ^7 (F)Philip answered Him, “^(G)Two hundred ^[b]denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little.” ⁸ One of His ^(H)disciples, ^(I)Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, *said to Him, ⁹ “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two ^(J)fish, but what are these for so many people?” ¹⁰ Jesus said, “Have the people ^[c]sit down.” Now there was ^(K)much grass in the place. So the men ^[d]sat down, in number about ^(L)five thousand. ¹¹ Jesus then took the loaves, and ^(M)having given thanks, He distributed them to those who were seated; likewise also of the ^(N)fish, as much as they wanted. ¹² And when they were filled, He *said to His ^(O)disciples, “Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing will be lost.” ¹³ So they gathered them up, and filled twelve ^(P)baskets with pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. ¹⁴ Therefore when the people saw the ^[e]sign which He had done, they were saying, “This is truly the ^(Q)Prophet who is to come into the world.”
