6 ΚΑΤΑ ΙΩΑΝΝΗΝ John Reference
1Μετὰ ταῦτα ἀπῆλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πέραν τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς Γαλιλαίας τῆς τιβεριάδος. SOME TIME LATER Jesus withdrew to the farther shore of the Sea of Galilee (or Tiberias),The Feeding of the Five Thousand Jn.6.1-14 | Mt.14.13-21 | Mk.6.30-44 | Lk.9.10-17
2ἠκολούθει δὲ αὐτῷ ὀχλος πολύς, ὅτι ἐθεώρουν τὰ σημεῖα ἂ ἐποίει ἐπὶ τῶν ἀσθενούντων. and a large crowd of people followed who had seen the signs he performed in healing the sick. 
3ἀνῆλθεν δὲ εἰς τὸ ὀρος Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἐκάθητο μετὰ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ. Then Jesus went up the hill-side and sat down with his disciples. 
4ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς τὸ πάσχα, ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων. It was near the time of Passover, the great Jewish festival. 
5ἐπάρας οὖν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ θεασάμενος ὅτι πολὺς ὀχλος ἐρχεται πρὸς αὐτὸν λέγει πρὸς Φίλιππον, Πόθεν ἀγοράσωμεν ἀρτους ἵνα φάγωσιν οὗτοὶ; Raising his eyes and seeing a large crowd coming towards him, Jesus said to Philip, 'Where are we to buy bread to feed these people?' 
6τοῦτο δὲ ἐλεγεν πειράζων αὐτόν, αὐτὸς γὰρ ᾐδει τί ἐμελλεν ποιεῖν. This he said to test him; Jesus himself knew what he meant to do. 
7ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ ὁ Φίλιππος, Διακοσίων δηναρίων ἀρτοι οὐκ ἀρκοῦσιν αὐτοῖς ἵνα ἑκαστος βραχύ [τι] λάβῃ. Philip replied, 'Twenty pounds would not buy enough bread for every one of them to have a little.' 
8λέγει αὐτῷ εἷς ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ, Ἀνδρέας ὁ ἀδελφὸς Σίμωνος Πέτρου, One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, 
9Ἔστιν παιδάριον ὧδε ὃς ἐχει πέντε ἀρτους κριθίνους καὶ δύο ὀψάρια· ἀλλὰ ταῦτα τί ἐστιν εἰς τοσούτους; 'There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fishes; but what is that among so many?' 
10εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ποιήσατε τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἀναπεσεῖν. ἦν δὲ χόρτος πολὺς ἐν τῷ τόπῳ. ἀνέπεσαν οὖν οἱ ἀνδρες τὸν ἀριθμὸν ὡς πεντακισχίλιοι. Jesus said, 'Make the people sit down.' There was plenty of grass there, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them. 
11ἐλαβεν οὖν τοὺς ἀρτους ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εὐχαριστήσας διέδωκεν τοῖς ἀνακειμένοις, ὁμοίως καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὀψαρίων ὁσον ἠθελον. Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to the people as they sat there. He did the same with the fishes, and they had as much as they wanted. 
12ὡς δὲ ἐνεπλήσθησαν λέγει τοῖς μαθηταῖς αὐτοῦ, Συναγάγετε τὰ περισσεύσαντα κλάσματα, ἵνα μή τι ἀπόληται. When everyone had had enough, he said to his disciples, 'Collect the pieces left over, so that nothing may be lost.' 
13συνήγαγον οὖν, καὶ ἐγέμισαν δώδεκα κοφίνους κλασμάτων ἐκ τῶν πέντε ἀρτων τῶν κριθίνων ἂ ἐπερίσσευσαν τοῖς βεβρωκόσιν. This they did, and filled twelve baskets with the pieces left uneaten of the five barley loaves.
 
14Οἱ οὖν ἄνθρωποι ἰδόντες ὃ ἐποίησεν σημεῖον ἐλεγον ὅτι Οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ προφήτης ὁ ἐρχόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον. When the people saw the sign Jesus had performed, the word went round, 'Surely this must be the prophet that was to come into the world.'
