2 [6:6]But this he said to try him; for he knew what he was about to do. [6:7] Philip answered him, Two hundred denarii [$28] worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that each may take a little. [6:8]One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, [6:9]There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these for so many? [6:10]Jesus said, Make the men sit down. And there was much grass in the place. The men, therefore, sat down in number about five thousand. [6:11]Then Jesus took the bread, and having given thanks, distributed it to those reclining; likewise also of the fishes, as much as they wished. [6:12]And when they were filled he said to his disciples, Collect the fragments that remain over, that nothing may be lost. [6:13]Then they collected, and filled twelve traveling-baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over to those who had eaten. 3 [6:14]Then the men, seeing what a miracle Jesus had performed, said, This is truly the prophet who was to come into the world. [6:15]And Jesus knowing that they were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, went up to the mountain himself alone. 4 [6:16]And when it was evening, his disciples went down to the lake, [6:17] and entering into the ship were crossing the lake to Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them, [6:18]and the lake was made rough by a great wind blowing. [6:19]Then having gone about twenty-five or thirty stadiums [3 or 3 1-2 miles], they saw Jesus walking on the lake and coming near the ship, and they were afraid. [6:20]But he said to them, It is I; be not afraid. [6:21] Then they willingly took him into the ship, and immediately the ship was at the land to which they were going. CHAPTER IX. CHRIST AT CAPERNAUM PROCLAIMING HIMSELF THE SON OF GOD AND THE BREAD OF LIFE. 1 [6:22]ON the next day, the multitude standing on the other side of the lake seeing that there was no other boat there except one, and that Jesus entered not into the ship with his disciples but his disciples had gone away alone,-- [6:23] but other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they had eaten bread after the Lord gave thanks,-- [6:24]when, therefore, the multitude saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they went into the ships and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. [6:25]And finding him on the other side of the lake they said to him, Rabbi, when came you hither? [6:26]Jesus answered them and said, I tell you most truly, you seek me not because you saw miracles, but because you eat of the bread and were filled. [6:27]Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of man will give you; for him has God the Father sealed.
