1 After these things Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias).1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.1 Jesus later crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (or the Sea of Tiberias).1 After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias.1 After these things Jesus went away beyond the sea of Galilee, or of Tiberias,
2 A large crowd followed Him, because they saw the signs which He was performing on those who were sick.2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.2 A large crowd followed him because they saw the miracles that he performed for the sick.2 A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.2 and a great crowd followed him, because they saw the signs which he wrought upon the sick.

5 Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?"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?5 As Jesus saw a large crowd coming to him, he said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?"5 Jesus therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, that these may eat?"5 Jesus then, lifting up his eyes and seeing that a great crowd is coming to him, says to Philip, Whence shall we buy loaves that these may eat?

6 This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.6 Jesus asked this question to test him. He already knew what he was going to do.6 This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.6 But this he said trying him, for he knew what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little."7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.7 Philip answered, "We would need about a year's wages to buy enough bread for each of them to have a piece."7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that everyone of them may receive a little."7 Philip answered him, Loaves for two hundred denarii are not sufficient for them, that each may have some little portion.

9 "There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?"9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?9 "A boy who has five loaves of barley bread and two small fish is here. But they won't go very far for so many people."9 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"9 There is a little boy here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes; but this, what is it for so many?
10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.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.10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." The people had plenty of grass to sit on. (There were about 5,000 men in the crowd.)10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place: the men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.

11 Jesus then took the loaves, and having given thanks, He distributed to those who were seated; likewise also of the fish as much as they wanted.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.11 Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to the people who were sitting there. He did the same thing with the fish. All the people ate as much as they wanted.11 Jesus took the loaves; and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as much as they desired.11 And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks, distributed them to those that were set down; and in like manner of the small fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost."12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.12 When the people were full, Jesus told his disciples, "Gather the leftover pieces so that nothing will be wasted."12 When they were filled, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are left over, that nothing be lost."12 And when they had been filled, he says to his disciples, Gather together the fragments which are over and above, that nothing may be lost.
13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.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.13 The disciples gathered the leftover pieces of bread and filled twelve baskets.13 So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves, which were left over by those who had eaten.13 They gathered them therefore together, and filled twelve hand-baskets full of fragments of the five barley loaves, which were over and above to those that had eaten.
14 Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."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.14 When the people saw the miracle Jesus performed, they said, "This man is certainly the prophet who is to come into the world."14 When therefore the people saw the sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes into the world."14 The men therefore, having seen the sign which Jesus had done, said, This is truly the prophet which is coming into the world.
Jesus Walks on the Water
15 So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.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.15 Jesus realized that the people intended to take him by force and make him king. So he returned to the mountain by himself.15 Jesus therefore, perceiving that they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.15 Jesus therefore knowing that they were going to come and seize him, that they might make him king, departed again to the mountain himself alone.

16 Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,16 When evening came, his disciples went to the sea.16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,16 But when evening was come, his disciples went down to the sea,
17 and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.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.17 They got into a boat and started to cross the sea to the city of Capernaum. By this time it was dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.17 and they entered into the boat, and were going over the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not come to them.17 and having gone on board ship, they went over the sea to Capernaum. And it had already become dark, and Jesus had not come to them,
18 The sea began to be stirred up because a strong wind was blowing.18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.18 A strong wind started to blow and stir up the sea.18 The sea was tossed by a great wind blowing.18 and the sea was agitated by a strong wind blowing.
19 Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near to the boat; and they were frightened.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.19 After they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea. He was coming near the boat, and they became terrified.19 When therefore they had rowed about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they saw Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing near to the boat; and they were afraid.19 Having rowed then about twenty-five or thirty stadia, they see Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the ship; and they were frightened.
20 But He said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.20 Jesus told them, "It's me. Don't be afraid!"20 But he said to them, "It is I. Don't be afraid."20 But he says to them, It is I: be not afraid.

21 So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.21 So they were willing to help Jesus into the boat. Immediately, the boat reached the shore where they were going.21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the boat. Immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.21 They were willing therefore to receive him into the ship; and immediately the ship was at the land to which they went.
22 The next day the crowd that 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.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;22 On the next day the people were still on the other side of the sea. They noticed that only one boat was there and that Jesus had not stepped into that boat with his disciples. The disciples had gone away without him.22 On the next day, the multitude that stood on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except the one in which his disciples had embarked, and that Jesus hadn't entered with his disciples into the boat, but his disciples had gone away alone.22 On the morrow the crowd which stood on the other side of the sea, having seen that there was no other little ship there except that into which his disciples had got, and that Jesus had not gone with his disciples into the ship, but that his disciples had gone away alone;
23 There came other small boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)23 Other boats from Tiberias arrived near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord gave thanks.23 However boats from Tiberias came near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.23 (but other little ships out of Tiberias came near to the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks;)
24 So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.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.24 When the people saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into these boats and went to the city of Capernaum to look for Jesus.24 When the multitude therefore saw that Jesus wasn't there, nor his disciples, they themselves got into the boats, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.24 when therefore the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor his disciples, they got into the ships, and came to Capernaum, seeking Jesus.
25 When they found Him on the other side of the sea, they said to Him, "Rabbi, when did You get here?"25 And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"25 When they found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"25 And having found him the other side of the sea, they said to him, Rabbi, when art thou arrived here?

26 Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.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.26 Jesus replied to them, "I can guarantee this truth: You're not looking for me because you saw miracles. You are looking for me because you ate as much of those loaves as you wanted.26 Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, you seek me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves, and were filled.26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say to you, Ye seek me not because ye have seen signs, but because ye have eaten of the loaves and been filled.
27 "Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal."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.27 Don't work for food that spoils. Instead, work for the food that lasts into eternal life. This is the food the Son of Man will give you. After all, the Father has placed his seal of approval on him."27 Don't work for the food which perishes, but for the food which remains to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has sealed him."27 Work not for the food which perishes, but for the food which abides unto life eternal, which the Son of man shall give to you; for him has the Father sealed, even God.
28 Therefore they said to Him, "What shall we do, so that we may work the works of God?"28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?28 The people asked Jesus, "What does God want us to do?"28 They said therefore to him, "What must we do, that we may work the works of God?"28 They said therefore to him, What should we do that we may work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said to them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.29 Jesus replied to them, "God wants to do something for you so that you believe in the one whom he has sent."29 Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent."29 Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he has sent.
30 So they said to Him, "What then do You do for a sign, so that we may see, and believe You? What work do You perform?30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?30 The people asked him, "What miracle are you going to perform so that we can see it and believe in you? What are you going to do?30 They said therefore to him, "What then do you do for a sign, that we may see, and believe you? What work do you do?30 They said therefore to him, What sign then doest thou that we may see and believe thee? what dost thou work?

31 "Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, 'HE GAVE THEM BREAD OUT OF HEAVEN TO EAT.'"31 Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the desert.

32 Jesus then said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of heaven.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.32 Jesus said to them, "I can guarantee this truth: Moses didn't give you bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven.32 Jesus therefore said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, it wasn't Moses who gave you the bread out of heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.32 Jesus therefore said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, It is not Moses that has given you the bread out of heaven; but my Father gives you the true bread out of heaven.

34 Then they said to Him, "Lord, always give us this bread."34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.34 They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread all the time."34 They said therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread."34 They said therefore to him, Lord, ever give to us this bread.
35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.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.35 Jesus told them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never become hungry, and whoever believes in me will never become thirsty.35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.35 And Jesus said to them, I am the bread of life: he that comes to me shall never hunger, and he that believes on me shall never thirst at any time.

41 Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that came down out of heaven."41 The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven.41 The Jews began to criticize Jesus for saying, "I am the bread that came from heaven."41 The Jews therefore murmured concerning him, because he said, "I am the bread which came down out of heaven."41 The Jews therefore murmured about him, because he said, I am the bread which has come down out of heaven.
42 They were saying, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, 'I have come down out of heaven '?"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?42 They asked, "Isn't this man Jesus, Joseph's son? Don't we know his father and mother? How can he say now, 'I came from heaven'?"42 They said, "Isn't this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How then does he say, 'I have come down out of heaven?'"42 And they said, Is not this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have known? how then does he say, I am come down out of heaven?
43 Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves.43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.43 Jesus responded, "Stop criticizing me!43 Therefore Jesus answered them, "Don't murmur among yourselves.43 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Murmur not among yourselves.

52 Then the Jews began to argue with one another, saying, "How can this man give us His flesh to eat?"52 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?52 The Jews began to quarrel with each other.
