John 6:5-15

Legacy Standard Bible

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