John 6:5-9

Expanded Bible

⁵ When Jesus ·looked up [^Lraised his eyes] and saw a large crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip [^Cone of the twelve disciples; 1:43], “Where can we buy enough bread for all these people to eat?” ⁶ (Jesus asked Philip this question to test him, because Jesus already knew what he ·planned [was going] to do.)

⁷ Philip answered [^Lhim], “·Someone would have to work almost a year to buy enough bread [^LTwo hundred denarii worth of bread is not enough; ^Ca denarius was a unit of money worth about a day’s wages] for each person to have only a little piece.”

⁸ Another one of his ·followers [disciples], Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, ⁹ “Here is a boy with five loaves of barley bread and two little fish, but ·that is not enough [^Lwhat are these…?] for so many people.”
