46 If you believed Moses, you would believe
me, for he wrote about me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how
will you believe my words?"

1 After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee,
which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a great multitude followed him,
because they saw his signs which he performed on those who were
diseased. 3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there sat down with his
disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near. 5 Then
Jesus lifted up his eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward him,
he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread, that these people may eat?"
6 But this he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7
Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread
for each one of them to have a little." 8 One of his disciples, Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother, said to him, 9 "There is a lad here who has five
barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?" 10
Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the
place; so the men sat down, in number about five thousand. 11 Jesus then
took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to
those who were seated; so also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And
when they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the
fragments left over, that nothing may be lost." 13 So they gathered them
up and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves,
left over by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign that
Jesus did, they said, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the
world." 15 Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by
force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17
got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark,
and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea rose because a strong
wind was blowing. 19 So when they had rowed about three or four miles,
they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they
were afraid. 20 But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." 21 Then
they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at
the land where they were going.
22 On the next day the people who remained on the other side of
the sea saw that there had been only one boat there, and that Jesus had
not entered the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone
away alone. 23 However, boats from Tiberias came near the place where
they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks. 24 So when the people
saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they also got into the boats
and went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 25 When they found him on the
other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
