John 6:1-21
Feeding Five Thousand
"Jesus crossed Lake Galilee, which was also known as Lake Tiberias. A
large crowd had seen him work miracles to heal the sick, and those
people went with him. - It was almost time for the Jewish festival of
Passover, and Jesus went up on a mountain with his disciples and sat
down. When Jesus saw the large crowd coming toward him, he asked
Philip, "Where will we get enough food to feed all these people?" He
said this to test Philip, since he already knew what he was going to
do. Philip answered, "Don't you know that it would take almost a
year's wages just to buy only a little bread for each of these
people?" Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the disciples.
He spoke up and said, "There is a boy here who has five small loaves
of barley bread and two fish. But what good is that with all these
people?" The ground was covered with grass, and Jesus told his
disciples to have everyone sit down. About five thousand men were in
the crowd. Jesus took the bread in his hands and gave thanks to God.
Then he passed the bread to the people, and he did the same with the
fish, until everyone had plenty to eat. The people ate all they
wanted, and Jesus told his disciples to gather up the leftovers, so
that nothing would be wasted. The disciples gathered them up and
filled twelve large baskets with what was left over from the five
barley loaves. After the people had seen Jesus work this miracle, they
began saying, "This must be the Prophet who is to come into the
world!" Jesus realized that they would try to force him to be their
king. So he went up on a mountain, where he could be alone.
Jesus Walks on the Water
That evening, Jesus' disciples went down to the lake. They got into a
boat and started across for Capernaum. Later that evening Jesus had
still not come to them, and a strong wind was making the water
rough.When the disciples had rowed for three or four miles, they saw
Jesus walking on the water. He kept coming closer to the boat, and
they were terrified. But he said, "I am Jesus! Don't be afraid!" The
disciples wanted to take him into the boat, but suddenly the boat
reached the shore where they were headed."
Jesus is the way. Invite Him into your heart.
