Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to Philip, "Where should we buy bread, so that these people may eat?"

One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, *said to Him,

And when they were filled, He *said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover pieces so that nothing will be lost."

Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

On the next day, the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other small boat there, except one, and that Jesus had not entered with His disciples into the boat, but that His disciples had gone away alone.

Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, "This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"

But Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples were grumbling at this, said to them, "Does this cause you to stumble?

As a result of this many of His disciples went away and were not walking with Him anymore.

Therefore His brothers said to Him, "Leave here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may see Your works which You are doing.

For not even His brothers were believing in Him.

But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as in secret.

If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is of God or I speak from Myself.

He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"
