| Went up into a mountain - This mountain must have been in the desert of Bethsaida, in the territories of Philip, tetrarch of Galilee. Our Lord withdrew to this place for a little rest; for he and his disciples had been so thronged with the multitudes, continually coming and going, that they had not time to take necessary food. See Mar 6:31. |
1 After [3326] these things [5023] Jesus [2424] went [565] over [4008] the sea [2281] of Galilee [1056], which is the sea of Tiberias [5085].
2 And [2532] a great [4183] multitude [3793] followed [190] him [846], because [3754] they saw [3708] his [846] miracles [4592] which [3739] he did [4160] on [1909] them that were diseased [770].
3 And [1161] Jesus [2424] went up [424] into [1519] a mountain [3735], and [2532] there [1563] he sat [2521] with [3326] his [846] disciples [3101].
4 And [1161] the passover [3957], a feast [1859] of the Jews [2453], was [2258] nigh [1451].
5 When Jesus [2424] then [3767] lifted up [1869] his eyes [3788], and [2532] saw [2300] [3754] a great [4183] company [3793] come [2064] unto [4314] him [846], he saith [3004] unto [4314] Philip [5376], Whence [4159] shall we buy [59] bread [740], that [2443] these [3778] may eat [5315]?
6 And [1161] this [5124] he said [3004] to prove [3985] him [846]: for [1063] he himself [846] knew [1492] what [5101] he would [3195] do [4160].
7 Philip [5376] answered [611] him [846], Two hundred [1250] pennyworth [1220] of bread [740] is [714] not [3756] sufficient [714] for them [846], that [2443] every one [1538] of them [846] may take [2983] a [5100] little [1024].
8 One [1520] of [1537] his [846] disciples [3101], Andrew [406], Simon [4613] Peter's [4074] brother [80], saith [3004] unto him [846],
9 There is [2076] a [1520] lad [3808] here [5602], which [3739] hath [2192] five [4002] barley [2916] loaves [740], and [2532] two [1417] small fishes [3795]: but [235] what [5101] are [2076] they [5023] among [1519] so many [5118]?
10 And [1161] Jesus [2424] said [2036], Make [4160] the men [444] sit down [377]. Now [1161] there was [2258] much [4183] grass [5528] in [1722] the place [5117]. So [3767] the men [435] sat down [377], in number [706] about [5616] five thousand [4000].
11 And [1161] Jesus [2424] took [2983] the loaves [740]; and [2532] when he had given thanks [2168], he distributed [1239] to the disciples [3101], and [1161] the disciples [3101] to them that were set down [345]; and [2532] likewise [3668] of [1537] the fishes [3795] as much as [3745] they would [2309].
12 When [1161] [5613] they were filled [1705], he said [3004] unto his [846] disciples [3101], Gather up [4863] the fragments [2801] that remain [4052], that nothing [3363] [5100] be lost [622].
13 Therefore [3767] they gathered them together [4863], and [2532] filled [1072] twelve [1427] baskets [2894] with the fragments [2801] of [1537] the five [4002] barley [2916] loaves [740], which [3739] remained over and above [4052] unto them that had eaten [977].
5 When Jesus [2424] then [3767] lifted up [1869] his eyes [3788], and [2532] saw [2300] [3754] a great [4183] company [3793] come [2064] unto [4314] him [846], he saith [3004] unto [4314] Philip [5376], Whence [4159] shall we buy [59] bread [740], that [2443] these [3778] may eat [5315]?
31 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Come [1205] ye [5210] yourselves [846] apart [2596] [2398] into [1519] a desert [2048] place [5117], and [2532] rest [373] a while [3641]: for [1063] there were [2258] many [4183] coming [2064] and [2532] going [5217], and [2532] they had no [3761] leisure [2119] so much as [3761] to eat [5315].
