JOHN 6:1-8
1After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of
Tiberias. 2Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs
which He performed by healing the sick. 3And Jesus went up on the
mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. 4Now the Passover, a feast of
the Jews, was near. 5Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great
multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where shall we buy
bread, that these may eat?” 6But this He said to test him, for He Himself
knew what He would do. 7Philip answered Him, “Two hundred denarii
worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a
little.” 8One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,
JOHN 6:9-12
9“There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but
what are they among so many?” 10 Then 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. 11And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had
given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those
sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted. 12So when
they were filled, He said to His disciples, “Gather up the fragments that
remain, so that nothing is lost.”
JOHN 6:13-15
13Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the
fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had
eaten. 14Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said,
“This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world.” 15Therefore when
Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to
make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.
JOHN 6:16-17; 24-26
16Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, 17got into
the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already
dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples,
they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus. 25 And
when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, “Rabbi,
when did You come here?” 26Jesus answered them and said, “Most
assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but
because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
JOHN 6: 27-29
27 Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures
to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the
Father has set His seal on Him.” 28 Then they said to Him, “What shall we
do, that we may work the works of God?” 29 Jesus answered and said to
them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”
JOHN 6:30-35
30 Therefore they said to Him, “What sign will You perform then, that we
may see it and believe You? What work will You do? 31 Our fathers ate the
manna in the desert; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to
eat.’ 32 Then Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did
not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread
from heaven. 33For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world.” 34 Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this
bread always.” 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who
comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never
thirst.”

JOHN 6:51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this
bread, he will live forever; and the bread that I shall give is My flesh, which
I shall give for the life of the world.
