1. After this, Jesus went across Lake Galilee (or, Lake Tiberias, as it is also called).
2. A large crowd followed him, because they had seen his miracles of healing those who were ill.
3. Jesus went up a hill and sat down with his disciples.
4. The time for the Passover Festival was near.
5. Jesus looked round and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, so he asked Philip, “Where can we buy enough food to feed all these people?”
6. (He said this to test Philip; actually he already knew what he would do.)
7. Philip answered, “For everyone to have even a little, it would take more than 200 silver coins to buy enough bread.”
8. Another of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, said,
9. “There is a boy here who has five loaves of barley bread and two fish. But they will certainly not be enough for all these people.”
10. “Make the people sit down,” Jesus told them. (There was a lot of grass there.) So all the people sat down; there were about 5,000 men.
