Some time
after this,
Jesus
crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee
(that is,
the Sea of Tiberias),
2 And a
great crowd of people followed Him
Because
they saw the miraculous signs He had performed on the sick.
3 Then
Jesus went up on the hillside and sat down with His disciples.
4 The
Jewish Passover Feast was near.
5 When
Jesus looked up and saw the great crowd coming toward Him,
He said to
Philip,
'WHERE
SHALL WE BUY BREAD FOR THESE PEOPLE TO EAT.'
6 He asked
this only to test him,
For He
already had in mind what He was going to do.
7 Philip
answered Him,
“Eight
months wages would not by enough bread
For each
one to have a bite.”
8 Another
of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up,
9 “Here
is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish,
But how
far will they go among so many?”
10 Jesus
said, “Have the people sit down.”
There was
plenty of grass in that place,
And the
men sat down, about five thousand of them.
11
JESUS THEN TOOK THE LOAVES, GAVE THANKS,
And
distributed to those who were seated
As much as
they wanted.
He did the
same with the fish.
12 When
they had all had enough to eat, He said to His disciples,
“Gather
the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.”
13 So they
gathered them and filled twelve baskets
With the
pieces of the five barley loaves
Left over
by those who had eaten.
14 After
the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did,
They began
to say,
'SURELY
THIS IS THE PROPHET WHO IS COME INTO THE WORLD.'
15 Jesus,
knowing that they intended to come
And take
him king by force,
Withdrew
again into the hills by Himself.
(John
6:1-15)
Christ
Jesus demonstrates
That there
is All Provision in God.
'The Lord is
my Shepherd I shall lack nothing.'
(Psalm 23:1)
Seek first
the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness,
And
Everything you have need of will be given you.
(Matthew
6:33)
'For Nothing
is Impossible with God.'
(Luke 1:37)
