John 6:3

John 6:3

Feeding the Five Thousand

1 After ^athese things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of ^bTiberias.

2 Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were ^adiseased.

3 And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples.

4 ^aNow the Passover, a feast of the Jews, was near.

5 ^aThen Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to ^bPhilip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?”

6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

John 6:4 >>

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 Mark 6:31.
