6:1

Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias ),

6:2

and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick.

6:3

Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples.

6:4

The Jewish Passover Feast was near.

6:5

When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?"

6:6

He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

6:7

Philip answered him, "Eight months' wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"

6:8

Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up,

6:9

"Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"

6:10

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.

6:11

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.

6:12

When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted."

6:13

So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

6:14

After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world."

6:15

Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.

22:1

Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!" "Here I am," he replied.

22:2

Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains I will tell you about."

4:15

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.

12:1

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship.

6:35

Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.

22:19

And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me."

10:45

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

6:38

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
