4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
5 When Jesus then lifted up [his] eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Jesus therefore having lifted up his eyes, and having seen that a great multitude comes to him, he says to Philip, From where will we buy loaves, so that these may eat?
6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
But he said this testing him, for he himself knew what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
Philip answered him, Loaves of two hundred denarii of bread are not sufficient for them, so that each of them may take a little something.
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,

9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
There is one child here that has five barley loaves and two fishes, but what are these for so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
And Jesus took the loaves, and having expressed thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down, likewise also of the fishes as much as they wanted.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
And when they were filled, he says to his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain over, so that not anything may be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered [them] together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets of fragments from the five barley loaves that remained over from those who have eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
When therefore the men saw what sign Jesus did, they said, This really is the prophet who comes into the world.
15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
Jesus therefore having perceived that they are going to come and seize him, so that they might make him king, departed onto the mountain himself alone.
16 And when even was [now] come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
And when it became evening his disciples went down to the sea,
17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
and having entered into the boat, they were going to the other side of the sea toward Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
And the sea was being raised by a great wind blowing.
19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.
Therefore having impelled forward about twenty-five or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and coming near to the boat, and they were afraid.
20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
But he says to them, It is I, fear not.
21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat, and straightaway the boat came to be at the land to which they were going.
22 The day following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but [that] his disciples were gone away alone;
On the morrow the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other boat there except that one in which his disciples entered, and that Jesus did not go with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples went away alone,
23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks: )
and other boats came from Tiberias near the place where they ate the bread after the Lord expressed thanks,
24 When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
when therefore the multitude saw that Jesus is not there, nor his disciples, they entered into the boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.
25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
And when they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when did thou become here?
26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.
Jesus answered them and said, Truly, truly, I say to you, ye seek me not because ye saw signs, but because ye ate of the loaves and were filled.

Jesus therefore said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and he who comes to me I will, no, not cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
Because I have come down from heaven, not so that I might do my will, but the will of him who sent me.
39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And this is the will of the Father who sent me, that of all that he has given me I would not lose from it, but I will raise it up at the last day.
