After these things Iesus went ouer the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias:

And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which hee did on them that were diseased.

And Iesus went vp into a mountaine, and there hee sate with his disciples.

And the Passeouer, a feast of the Iewes, was nigh.

When Iesus then lift vp his eyes, and saw a great company come vnto him, he saith vnto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eate?

(And this he said to proue him: for he himselfe knew what he would doe)

Philip answered him, Two hundred peny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that euery one of them may take a litle.

One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peters brother, saith vnto him,

There is a lad here, which hath fiue barley loaues, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

And Iesus said, Make the men sit downe. Now there was much grasse in the place. So the men sate downe, in number about fiue thousand.

And Iesus tooke the loaues, and when he had giuen thankes, hee distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set downe, and likewise of the fishes, as much as they would.

When they were filled, he said vnto his disciples, Gather vp the fragments that remaine, that nothing be lost.

Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelue baskets with the fragments of the fiue barley loaues, which remained ouer and aboue, vnto them that had eaten.

Then those men, when they had seene the miracle that Iesus did, said, This is of a trueth that Prophet that should come into the world.

When Iesus therefore perceiued that they would come and take him by force, to make him a King, hee departed againe into a mountaine, himselfe alone.
