*/Five Loaves and Two Fishes/*

*/John 6:1-15/**/KJV/*

1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is/ the sea/ of Tiberias.

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

3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

5 When Jesus then lifted up/ his/ eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many? 10 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.

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.

12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

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.

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.

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.

Ver1-2 Jesus went over (crossed) the sea of Galilee and there were thousands who followed to see the miracles He could do!

Even today people go to revivals and healing services not to hear the word but to see a miracle!

Verse 3 Jesus went up on top of the hill or mount to be above the croud to speak from a high place

 

Verse 5 Jesus then saw an opportunity to test his disciples as he tests us often.

He gave a question “How are we going to buy bread that these may eat?”

 

Verse 6

#.

He already knew what He was going to do.

#.

Jesus already knew how he would do it but he wanted to see if Philip believed!

First Philip wanted to mention how much it would cost (we see money not Gods strength, second in

*/Mark 6:35-36/**/KJV/*

35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time/ is/ far passed: 36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.

Philip only saw how much it would cost and that they couldn’t afford it even if they worked a solid year!

#.

He wants to know if we can have the same faith when trouble comes our way!

Verse 8 Andrew came upon a child who had 5 loaves and 2 fishes he didn’t know what could be done with that but he offered that.

“What are they among so many?”

 

Often we see an answer right before our eyes and we don’t see God’s power we see the problem!

Jesus took over and when He was through there was more than enough.

And every person was fed!

 

Have a problem?

A need that you can’t meet?

Jesus can meet it let Him!

 

*/Matthew 6:25-34/**/KJV/*

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.

Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.

Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment?

Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven,/ shall he/ not much more/ clothe/ you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink?

or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.

Sufficient unto the day/ is/ the evil thereof.
