Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

⁴² And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said, Give to the people that they may eat.

⁴³ And his attendant said, How shall I set this before a hundred men? And he said, Give the people that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah: They shall eat, and shall have to spare.

⁴⁴ And he set [it] before them, and they ate and left [thereof], according to the word of Jehovah.

¹⁰ All thy works shall praise thee, Jehovah, and thy saints shall bless thee.

¹¹ They shall tell of the glory of thy kingdom, and speak of thy power;

¹² To make known to the children of men his mighty acts, and the glorious splendour of his kingdom.

¹³ Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and thy dominion is throughout all generations.

¹⁴ Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down.

¹⁵ The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in its season.

¹⁶ Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

¹⁷ Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works.

¹⁸ Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth.

¹⁴ For this reason I bow my knees to the Father [of our Lord Jesus Christ],

¹⁵ of whom every family in [the] heavens and on earth is named,

¹⁶ in order that he may give you according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with power by his Spirit in the inner man;

¹⁷ that the Christ may dwell, through faith, in your hearts, being rooted and founded in love,

¹⁸ in order that ye may be fully able to apprehend with all the saints what [is] the breadth and length and depth and height;

¹⁹ and to know the love of the Christ which surpasses knowledge; that ye may be filled [even] to all the fulness of God.

²⁰ But to him that is able to do far exceedingly above all which we ask or think, according to the power which works in us,

²¹ to him be glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus unto all generations of the age of ages. Amen).

6 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, [or] of Tiberias,

² and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.

³ And Jesus went up into the mountain, and there sat with his disciples:

⁴ but the passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.

⁵ Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?

⁶ But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.

⁷ Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little [portion].

⁸ One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, says to him,

⁹ There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?

¹⁰ [And] Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

¹¹ And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed [them] to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.

¹² And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.

¹³ They gathered [them] therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.

¹⁴ The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.

¹⁵ Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make [him] king, departed again to the mountain himself alone.

¹⁶ But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,

¹⁷ and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them,

¹⁸ and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.

¹⁹ Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they were frightened.

²⁰ But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.

²¹ They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.
