6. But he said this to test him. For he himself knew what he would do.
7. Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii of bread would not be sufficient for each of them to receive even a little."
8. One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him:
9. "There is a certain boy here, who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are these among so many?"
10. Then Jesus said, "Have the men sit down to eat." Now, there was much grass in that place. And so the men, in number about five thousand, sat down to eat.
11. Therefore, Jesus took the bread, and when he had given thanks, he distributed it to those who were sitting down to eat; similarly also, from the fish, as much as they wanted.
12. Then, when they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather the fragments that are left over, lest they be lost."
13. And so they gathered, and they filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which were left over from those who had eaten.
14. Therefore, those men, when they had seen that Jesus had accomplished a sign, they said, "Truly, this one is the Prophet who is to come into the world."
15. And so, when he realized that they were going to come and take him away and make him king, Jesus fled back to the mountain, by himself alone.
16. Then, when evening arrived, his disciples descended to the sea.
17. And when they had climbed into a boat, they went across the sea to Capernaum. And darkness had now arrived, and Jesus had not returned to them.
18. Then the sea was stirred up by a great wind that was blowing.
19. And so, when they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat, and they were afraid.
20. But he said to them: "It is I. Do not be afraid."
21. Therefore, they were willing to receive him into the boat. But immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
22. On the next day, the crowd which was standing across the sea saw that there were no other small boats in that place, except one, and that Jesus had not entered into the boat with his disciples, but that his disciples had departed alone.
23. Yet truly, other boats came over from Tiberias, next to the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.
24. Therefore, when the crowd had seen that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they climbed into the small boats, and they went to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25. And when they had found him across the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
