Five Thousand Fed

1 After° these° things° aJesus° went° away° to the other° side° of bthe Sea° of Galilee° (or cTiberias°). 2 A large° crowd° followed° Him, because° they saw° the Iasigns° which° He was performing° on those° who were sick°. 3 Then° aJesus° went° up on the mountain°, and there° He sat° down° with His disciples°. 4 Now° athe 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 aPhilip°, “Where° are we to buy° bread°, so° that these° may eat°?” 6 This° He was saying° to atest° him, for He Himself° knew° what° He was intending° to do°. 7 aPhilip° answered° Him, “bTwo° hundred° Idenarii° worth of bread° is not sufficient° for them, for everyone° to receive° a little°.” 8 One° of His adisciples°, bAndrew°, Simon° Peter’s° brother°, *said° to Him, 9 “There is a lad° here° who° has° five° barley° loaves° and two° afish°, but what° are these° for so° many° people°?” 10 Jesus° said°, “Have° the people° Isit° down°.” Now° there was amuch° grass° in the place°. So° the men° Isat° down°, in number° about° bfive° thousand°. 11 Jesus° then° took° the loaves°, and ahaving given° thanks°, He distributed° to those° who were seated°; likewise° also° of the bfish° as much° as they wanted°. 12 When° they were filled°, He *said° to His adisciples°, “Gather° up the leftover° fragments° so° that nothing°° will be lost°.” 13 So° they gathered° them up, and filled° twelve° abaskets° with fragments° from the five° barley° loaves° which° were left° over° by those° who had eaten°. 14 Therefore° when the people° saw° the Isign° which° He had performed°, they said°, “This° is truly° the aProphet° who is to come° into the world°.”

Words to the People

26 ¶ Jesus° answered° them and said°, “Truly°, truly°, I say° to you, you aseek° Me, not because° you saw° bsigns°, but because° you ate° of the loaves° and were filled°. 27 Do not awork° for the food° which perishes°, but for the food° which endures° to beternal° life°, which° cthe Son° of Man° will give° to you, for on Him the Father°, God°, dhas set° His seal°.” 28 Therefore° they said° to Him, “What° shall we do°, so° that we may work° the works° of God°?” 29 Jesus° answered° and said° to them, “This° is athe work° of God°, that you believe° in Him whom° He bhas sent°.” 30 So° they said° to Him, “aWhat° then° do You do° for a bsign°, so° that we may see°, and believe° You? What° work° do You perform°? 31 aOur fathers° ate° the manna° in the wilderness°; as it is written°, ‘bHE GAVE° THEM BREAD° OUT OF HEAVEN° TO EAT°.’” 32 Jesus° then° said° to them, “Truly°, truly°, I say° to you, it is not Moses° who has given° you the bread° out of heaven°, but it is My Father° who gives° you the true° bread° out of heaven°. 33 For the bread° of God° is Ithat which acomes° down° out of heaven°, and gives° life° to the world°.” 34 Then° they said° to Him, “Lord°, always° agive° us this° bread°.”

Words to the Jews

[25] Jn 1:38.

reproveth the people flocking after him, and all the fleshly hearers of his Word:

26 Jesusº answeredºª themº andº said,ºª Verily,º verily,º I sayºª unto you,º Ye seekºª me,º notº becauseº ye sawºª the miracles,º butº becauseº ye did eatºª ofº the² loaves,º andº were filled.ºª 27 Labourºª notº for the² meatº which¹ perisheth,ºª butº for that meatº which¹ endurethºª untoº everlastingº life,º whichº the² Sonº of manº shall give¹ª² unto you:º forº himº hath¹ª Godº the² Fatherº sealed.ºª 28 Thenº said² they¹ª untoº him,º Whatº shall we do,ºªªª thatº we might workºª the² worksº of God?º 29 Jesusº answeredºª andº saidºª unto them,º Thisº isºª the² workº of God,º thatº ye believeºª onº him¹ whom¹² he² hath sent.ºª 30 They saidºª thereforeº unto him,º Whatº signº shewestºª thouº then,º thatº we may see,ºª andº believeºª thee?º whatº dost thou work?ºª 31 Ourº fathersº did eatºª mannaº inº the² desert;º asº it isºª written,ºª He gaveºª themº breadº fromº heavenº to eat.ºª

declareth himself to be the bread of life to believers.

32 Thenº Jesusº saidºª unto them,º Verily,º verily,º I sayºª unto you,º Mosesº gaveºª youº notº that breadº fromº heaven;º butº myº Fatherº givethºª youº the² trueº breadº fromº heaven.º 33 Forº the² breadº of Godº is² he¹ª which¹ cometh downºª fromº heaven,º andº givethºª lifeº unto the² world.º 34 Thenº said² they¹ª untoº him,º Lord,º evermoreº giveºª usº thisº bread.º 35 Andº Jesusº saidºª unto them,º Iº amºª the² breadº of life:º he that comethºª toº meº shall neverº hunger;ºª andº he that believethºª onº meº shall¹ª neverºº thirst.ºª 36 Butº I saidºª unto you,º Thatº ye¹ª alsoº have seenºª me,º andº believeºª not.º 37 Allº thatº the² Fatherº givethºª meº shall comeºª toº me;º andº him that comethºª toº meº I will¹ª in no wiseº castºª out.º 38 Forº I came downºª fromº heaven,º notº toº doºª mine ownº will,º butº the² willº of him that sentºª me.º 39 Andº thisº isºª the² Father'sº willº which¹ hath sentºª me,º thatº of allº whichº he hath givenºª meº I should² loseºª nothing,ºº¹ butº should raise¹ª it¹ up againºª² atº the² lastº day.º 40 Andº thisº isºª the² willº of him that sentºª me,º thatº every oneº which¹ seethºª the² Son,º andº believethºª onº him,º may haveºª everlastingº life:º andº Iº will raise¹ª him¹ upºª² at the² lastº day.º 41 The² Jewsº thenº murmuredºª atº him,º becauseº he said,ºª Iº amºª the² breadº which¹ came downºª fromº heaven.º 42 Andº they said,ºª Isºª notº thisº Jesus,º the² sonº of Joseph,º whoseº fatherº andº motherº weº know?ºª how² is it¹ thenº that heº saith,ºª¹ I came downºª fromº heaven?º 43 Jesusº thereforeº answeredºª andº saidºª unto them,º Murmurºª notº amongº yourselves.º 44 No manº canºª comeºª toº me,º exceptº the² Fatherº which¹ hath sentºª meº drawºª him:º andº Iº will raise¹ª him¹ upºª² at the² lastº day.º 45 It isºª writtenºª inº the² prophets,º Andº they shall beºª allº taughtº of God.º Every manº thereforeº that hath heard,ºª andº hath learnedºª ofº the² Father,º comethºª untoº me.º 46 Notº thatº any manº hath seenºª the² Father,º saveº he which¹ isº¹ª of² God,º heº hath seenºª the² Father.º 47 Verily,º verily,º I sayºª unto you,º He that believethºª onº meº hathºª everlastingº life.º 48 Iº amºª that breadº of life.º 49 Yourº fathersº did eatºª mannaº inº the² wilderness,º andº are dead.ºª 50 Thisº isºª the² breadº which¹ cometh downºª fromº heaven,º that¹ª² a manº may eatºª thereof,ºº andº not¹² die.ºª 51 Iº amºª the² livingºª breadº which¹ came downºª fromº heaven:º ifº any manº eatºª ofº thisº bread,º he shall liveºª for¹ ever:º² andº¹ the² breadº thatº Iº will giveºª isºª myº flesh,º whichº Iº will giveºª forº the² lifeº of the² world.º 52 The² Jewsº thereforeº stroveºª amongº themselves,º saying,ºª Howº canºª this manº giveºª usº [his] fleshº to eat?ºª 53 Thenº Jesusº saidºª unto them,º Verily,º verily,º I sayºª unto you,º Exceptº ye eatºª the² fleshº of the² Sonº of man,º andº drinkºª hisº blood,º ye haveºª noº lifeº inº you.º 54 Whoso eatethºª myº flesh,º andº drinkethºª myº blood,º hathºª eternalº life;º andº Iº will raise¹ª him¹ upºª² at the² lastº day.º 55 Forº myº fleshº isºª meatº indeed,º andº myº bloodº isºª drinkº indeed.º 56 He that eatethºª myº flesh,º andº drinkethºª myº blood,º dwellethºª inº me,º and Iº inº him.º 57 Asº the² livingºª Fatherº hath sentºª me,º and Iº liveºª byº the² Father:º soº he that eatethºª me,º even heº shall liveºª byº me.º 58 Thisº isºª that breadº which¹ came downºª fromº heaven:º notº asº yourº fathersº did eatºª manna,º andº are dead:ºª he that eatethºª of thisº breadº shall liveºª for¹ ever.º² 59 These thingsº said² he¹ª inº the synagogue,º as he taughtºª inº Capernaum.º 60 Manyº thereforeº ofº hisº disciples,º when they had heardºª [this], said,ºª Thisº isºª an hardº saying;º whoº canºª hearºª it?º 61 Whenº Jesusº knewºª inº himselfº thatº hisº disciplesº murmuredºª atº it,º he saidºª unto them,º Doth thisº offendºª you?º 62 [What] andº ifº ye shall seeºª the² Sonº of manº ascend upºª whereº he wasºª before?º 63 It isºª the² spiritº that quickeneth;ºª the² fleshºº profitethºª nothing:º the² wordsº thatº Iº speakºª unto you,º [they] areºª spirit,º andº [they] areºª life.º 64 Butº there areºª someº ofº youº thatº believeºª not.º Forº Jesusº knewºª fromº the beginningº whoº they wereºª that believedºª not,º andº whoº shouldºª betrayºª him.º 65 Andº he said,ºª Thereforeºº said² I¹ª unto you,º thatº no manº canºª comeºª untoº me,º exceptº it wereºª givenºª unto himº ofº myº Father.º
