Jesus soon saw a great crowd of people climbing the hill, looking for him. Turning to Philip, he asked, "Philip, where can we buy bread to feed all these people?"
John.6.6
And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
John.6.6
He said this to stretch Philip's faith. He already knew what he was going to do.
John.6.6
He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.
John.6.6
But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.
John.6.6
He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he was going to do.
John.6.7
Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
John.6.7
Philip answered, "Two hundred silver pieces wouldn't be enough to buy bread for each person to get a piece."
John.6.7
Philip answered him, "Eight months' wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"
John.6.7
Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little."

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.
John.6.10
Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." There was a nice carpet of green grass in this place. They sat down, about five thousand of them.

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.

Then Jesus said, "Make the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
John.6.10
"Tell everyone to sit down," Jesus ordered. So all of them--the men alone numbered five thousand--sat down on the grassy slopes.
John.6.11
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.
John.6.11
Then Jesus took the bread and, having given thanks, gave it to those who were seated. He did the same with the fish. All ate as much as they wanted.

John.6.12
When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
John.6.12
When the people had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather the leftovers so nothing is wasted."
John.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."
John.6.12
So when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost."
John.6.12
"Now gather the leftovers," Jesus told his disciples, "so that nothing is wasted."
John.6.13
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.

John.6.14
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.
John.6.14
The people realized that God was at work among them in what Jesus had just done. They said, "This is the Prophet for sure, God's Prophet right here in Galilee!"
John.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."
John.6.14
Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

When the people saw this miraculous sign, they exclaimed, "Surely, he is the Prophet we have been expecting!"
John.6.15
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.
John.6.15
Jesus saw that in their enthusiasm, they were about to grab him and make him king, so he slipped off and went back up the mountain to be by himself.
John.6.15
Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.
John.6.15
Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone.
John.6.15
Jesus saw that they were ready to take him by force and make him king, so he went higher into the hills alone.
John.6.16
And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
John.6.16
In the evening his disciples went down to the sea,
John.6.16
When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,
John.6.16
Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,
John.6.16
That evening his disciples went down to the shore to wait for him.
John.6.17
And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
John.6.17
got in the boat, and headed back across the water to Capernaum. It had grown quite dark and Jesus had not yet returned.
John.6.17
where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them.
John.6.17
got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them.
John.6.17
But as darkness fell and Jesus still hadn't come back, they got into the boat and headed out across the lake toward Capernaum.
John.6.18
And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
John.6.18
A huge wind blew up, churning the sea.
John.6.18
A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough.
John.6.18
Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing.
John.6.18
Soon a gale swept down upon them as they rowed, and the sea grew very rough.
John.6.19
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.
John.6.19
They were maybe three or four miles out when they saw Jesus walking on the sea, quite near the boat. They were scared senseless,
John.6.19
When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified.
John.6.19
So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid.
John.6.19
They were three or four miles out when suddenly they saw Jesus walking on the water toward the boat. They were terrified,
John.6.20
But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
John.6.20
but he reassured them, "It's me. It's all right. Don't be afraid."
John.6.20
But he said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid."
John.6.20
But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."
John.6.20
but he called out to them, "I am here! Don't be afraid."
John.6.21
Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.
John.6.21
So they took him on board. In no time they reached land--the exact spot they were headed to.
John.6.21
Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.
John.6.21
Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.
John.6.21
Then they were eager to let him in, and immediately the boat arrived at their destination!
John.6.22
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;
John.6.22
The next day the crowd that was left behind realized that there had been only one boat, and that Jesus had not gotten into it with his disciples. They had seen them go off without him.
John.6.22
The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone.
John.6.22
On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone--
John.6.22
The next morning, back across the lake, crowds began gathering on the shore, waiting to see Jesus. For they knew that he and his disciples had come over together and that the disciples had gone off in their boat, leaving him behind.
John.6.23
Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
John.6.23
By now boats from Tiberias had pulled up near where they had eaten the bread blessed by the Master.
John.6.23
Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.
John.6.23
however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks--
John.6.23
Several boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the Lord had blessed the bread and the people had eaten.
John.6.24
When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.
John.6.24
So when the crowd realized he was gone and wasn't coming back, they piled into the Tiberias boats and headed for Capernaum, looking for Jesus.
John.6.24
Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.
John.6.24
when the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they also got into boats and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
John.6.24
When the crowd saw that Jesus wasn't there, nor his disciples, they got into the boats and went across to Capernaum to look for him.
John.6.25
And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?
John.6.25
When they found him back across the sea, they said, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"
John.6.25
When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"
John.6.25
And when they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You come here?"
John.6.25
When they arrived and found him, they asked, "Teacher, how did you get here?"
John.6.26
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.
John.6.26
Jesus answered, "You've come looking for me not because you saw God in my actions but because I fed you, filled your stomachs--and for free.
John.6.26
Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill.
John.6.26
Jesus answered them and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.
John.6.26
Jesus replied, "The truth is, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you saw the miraculous sign.
John.6.27
Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
John.6.27
"Don't waste your energy striving for perishable food like that. Work for the food that sticks with you, food that nourishes your lasting life, food the Son of Man provides. He and what he does are guaranteed by God the Father to last."
John.6.27
Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."
John.6.27
Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him."
John.6.27
But you shouldn't be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that I, the Son of Man, can give you. For God the Father has sent me for that very purpose."
John.6.28
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
John.6.28
To that they said, "Well, what do we do then to get in on God's works?"
John.6.28
Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"
John.6.28
Then they said to Him, "What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?"
John.6.28
They replied, "What does God want us to do?"
John.6.29
Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
John.6.29
Jesus said, "Throw your lot in with the One that God has sent. That kind of a commitment gets you in on God's works."
John.6.29
Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."
John.6.29
Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent."
John.6.29
Jesus told them, "This is what God wants you to do: Believe in the one he has sent."
John.6.30
They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?
John.6.30
They waffled: "Why don't you give us a clue about who you are, just a hint of what's going on? When we see what's up, we'll commit ourselves. Show us what you can do.
John.6.30
So they asked him, "What miraculous sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?
John.6.30
Therefore they said to Him, "What sign will You perform then, that we may see it and believe You? What work will You do?
John.6.30
They replied, "You must show us a miraculous sign if you want us to believe in you. What will you do for us?
John.6.31
Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.
John.6.31
Moses fed our ancestors with bread in the desert. It says so in the Scriptures: "He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
John.6.31
Our forefathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
John.6.31
Our fathers ate the manna in the desert; as it is written, "He gave them bread from heaven to eat."'
John.6.31
After all, our ancestors ate manna while they journeyed through the wilderness! As the Scriptures say, 'Moses gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"
John.6.32
Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
John.6.32
Jesus responded, "The real significance of that Scripture is not that Moses gave you bread from heaven but that my Father is right now offering you bread from heaven, the real bread.
John.6.32
Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
John.6.32
Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but My Father gives you the true bread from heaven.
John.6.32
Jesus said, "I assure you, Moses didn't give them bread from heaven. My Father did. And now he offers you the true bread from heaven.
John.6.33
For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
John.6.33
The Bread of God came down out of heaven and is giving life to the world."
John.6.33
For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
John.6.33
For the bread of God is He who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
John.6.33
The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
John.6.34
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.
John.6.34
They jumped at that: "Master, give us this bread, now and forever!"
John.6.34
"Sir," they said, "from now on give us this bread."
John.6.34
Then they said to Him, "Lord, give us this bread always."
John.6.34
"Sir," they said, "give us that bread every day of our lives."
John.6.35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John.6.35
Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever.
John.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.
John.6.35
And Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
John.6.35
Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry again. Those who believe in me will never thirst.
John.6.36
But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
John.6.36
I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action, you don't really believe me.
John.6.36
But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe.
John.6.36
But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe.
John.6.36
But you haven't believed in me even though you have seen me.
John.6.37
All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
John.6.37
Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don't let go.
John.6.37
All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.
John.6.37
All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.
John.6.37
However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.
John.6.38
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
John.6.38
I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me.
John.6.38
For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me.
John.6.38
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
John.6.38
For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do what I want.
John.6.39
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.
John.6.39
"This, in a nutshell, is that will: that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed--not a single detail missed--and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole.
John.6.39
And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.
John.6.39
This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.
John.6.39
And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them to eternal life at the last day.
John.6.40
And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John.6.40
This is what my Father wants: that anyone who sees the Son and trusts who he is and what he does and then aligns with him will enter real life, eternal life. My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time."
John.6.40
For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day."
John.6.40
And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day."
John.6.40
For it is my Father's will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life--that I should raise them at the last day."
John.6.41
The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.
John.6.41
At this, because he said, "I am the Bread that came down from heaven," the Jews started arguing over him:
John.6.41
At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven."
John.6.41
The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, "I am the bread which came down from heaven."
John.6.41
Then the people began to murmur in disagreement because he had said, "I am the bread from heaven."
John.6.42
And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven?
John.6.42
"Isn't this the son of Joseph? Don't we know his father? Don't we know his mother? How can he now say, "I came down out of heaven' and expect anyone to believe him?"
John.6.42
They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"
John.6.42
And they said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How is it then that He says, "I have come down from heaven'?"
John.6.42
They said, "This is Jesus, the son of Joseph. We know his father and mother. How can he say, 'I came down from heaven'?"
John.6.43
Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
John.6.43
Jesus said, "Don't bicker among yourselves over me.
John.6.43
"Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered.
John.6.43
Jesus therefore answered and said to them, "Do not murmur among yourselves.
John.6.43
But Jesus replied, "Don't complain about what I said.
John.6.44
No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John.6.44
You're not in charge here. The Father who sent me is in charge. He draws people to me--that's the only way you'll ever come. Only then do I do my work, putting people together, setting them on their feet, ready for the End.
John.6.44
"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.
John.6.44
No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John.6.44
For people can't come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them from the dead.
John.6.45
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
John.6.45
This is what the prophets meant when they wrote, "And then they will all be personally taught by God.' Anyone who has spent any time at all listening to the Father, really listening and therefore learning, comes to me to be taught personally--to see it with his own eyes, hear it with his own ears, from me, since I have it firsthand from the Father.
John.6.45
It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him comes to me.
John.6.45
It is written in the prophets, "And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
John.6.45
As it is written in the Scriptures, 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me.
John.6.46
Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
