How can you believe when you only value honors from eachother and do
not seek the honor that can come only from God? Do not think that I
will accuse you to the Father. The one who will accuse you is Moses, in
whom you trust. If you really believed Moses you would believe me
because he wrote about me. But if you do not believe his writings, how
can you believe my words?
6. After these things Jesus went across the sea of Galilee,
which is the sea of Tiberias. A large crowd followed Him because they
saw the miracles He did on those who were diseased. Then Jesus took His
disciples up into a mountain. It was near the time of Passover.
When Jesus saw the large crowd, He said to Philip, How can we buy food
for them to eat? He said this to test Philip because Jesus Himself knew
what He would do. Philip answered Him, All of the bread we could get
would not be enough for everyone in this crowd to take even a little.
One of Jesus' disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to Him,
There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fish. But
what are they among so many?
Jesus said, Have the men sit down on the grass. So the men, about five
thousand, sat down. Then Jesus took the loaves. When He had given
thanks, He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples gave
them to those who were seated. Then Jesus did the same thing with the
fish. When all were filled, He said to His disciples, Gather up the
fragments that remain so that nothing is wasted. The disciples filled
twelve baskets with the leftover fragments of the five barley loaves.
Those who saw the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is truly that
prophet that is supposed to come into the world. When Jesus sensed they
were about to come and take Him by force to make Him a king, He went
into the mountains.
It was now evening. the disciples went down to the sea and got in a
boat to go to Capernaum. It grew dark and a great wind began to stir up
the sea. When they had rowed a few miles, they saw Jesus walking on the
sea and drawing near the boat. They were afraid. But He said to them,
It is I. Be not afraid. As they welcomed Him into the boat, they were
immediately at the land where they were heading.
The next day, the people who stood on the opposite shore saw that there
was no other boat there, except the one His disciples entered. They
knew that the disciples left alone and Jesus did not go with them.
Other boats from Tiberias came near the place where they ate bread
after the Lord had given thanks. When all these people saw that neither
Jesus nor His disciples were there, they took boats to Capernaum to
look for Him.
