John
6:1-14
“
1 A
fter this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is
the Sea of
Tiberias
.
2
And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.
3
Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.
4
Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.
5
Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may Slide4
eat
?"
6
He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
7
Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii
would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little."
8
One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,
9
"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?"
10
Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.
11
Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had
givenSlide5
thanks
, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted.
12
And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost."
13
So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten.
14
When the
people saw the sign
that he had done, they said, "This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!" Slide6Slide7Slide8Slide9Slide10Slide11Slide12

in our story.

a

15:32
“

I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now
three
days and have nothing to eat
. And I am unwilling to send them away
hungry

When the disciples reached the other side,
they had forgotten
to bring
any
bread
.
6
Jesus said to them, "Watch and beware of the
leaven
of the Pharisees and Sadducees."
7
And they began discussing it among themselves, saying, "
We brought no bread
."
8
But Jesus, aware of this, said, "O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that
you have no bread
?
9
Do you not yet perceive? Do you not remember the
five loaves
for the
fiveSlide43

about simply telling people

done for you…Slide69

That which was
from the beginning, which we have
heard

seen
with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the
word of
life

weSlide70
proclaim
also to you

about telling people
