CHAPTER 6
After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is
the sea
of Tiberias.
2
And a great
multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3
And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4
And the passover, a feast
of the Jews, was nigh.
5
When Jesus then lifted up
his
eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto
Philip,
Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6
And this he said to prove him: for he
himself knew what he would do.
7
Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not
sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon
Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
9
There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small
fishes: but what are they among so many?
10
And Jesus said,
Make the men sit down.
Now there
was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11
And Jesus
took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to
them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12
When they were
filled, he said unto his disciples,
Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13
Therefore they gathered
them
together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five
barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14
Then those men, when
they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into
the world.
15
When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a
king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
16
And when even was
now
come, his
disciples went down unto the sea,
17
And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward
Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
18
And the sea arose by reason
of a great wind that blew.
19
So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they
see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
20
But he saith
unto them,
It is I; be not afraid.
21
Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately
the ship was at the land whither they went.
22
The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there
was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went
not with his disciples into the boat, but
that
his disciples were gone away alone;
23
(Howbeit there
came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord
had given thanks:)
24
When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples,
they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
25
And when they had found
him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
26
Jesus
answered them and said,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles,
but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
27
Labour not for the meat which perisheth,
but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you:
