| '''V2'''  "a great multitude followed"
|-
| V4 "[[passover]]... was nigh" and "feast of the Jews" are telling statements concerning the "much grass" in of V10 of [[John 6]] and the "green grass" of [[Mark 6]]:39.
|-
| In '''V5''' we find sthe term "ochlos" that can mean a "mob" or "rabble" translated "multitude" or "company"<Ref name="ochlos">{{3793}}</Ref> which is not the same as the Greek word translated "companies" that we see in [[Mark 6]]: 39 from the Greek term ''sumposion''<Ref name="sumposion">{{4849}}</Ref>  
|-
| Jesus has a plan and is testing his [[disiples]], some of whom will be his [[apostles]]. He will require them to make the people organize themselves in a common way of [[tens]].
|-
| '''V10''' More details are given concerning in [[Mark 6]]:39  and how the disiples were to make the people "sit down" by companies<Ref name="sumposion"></Ref> upon the ''green grass''. [40] And they sat down in ranks, by [[Tens|hundreds, and by fifties]]. [41]  And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all."
|-
| In V10  Jesus directs them to <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Make<Ref name="poieo">{{4160}}</Ref> the men sit down.'''</span>  using .
anapesein (ἀναπεσεῖν) a form of the Greek verb ''sit down'' anapipto<Ref name="anapipto">{{377}}</Ref> also seen in Mark.
The word ''companies''<Ref name="sumposion"></Ref> is word ''sumposion'' is derived from ''sumpino'' meaning ''to drink with''<Ref>{{4844}}</Ref> and is in part from the word ''[[4095|pino]]'' the verb "to drink" which is defined as to "figuratively, to receive into the [[soul]] what serves to refresh strengthen, nourish it unto life eternal".
|-
| ''Sumposion'' is repeated twice in the original text.   The word ''ranks''<Ref>{{4237}}</Ref> is like the word for ''companies'' and is also repeated twice in the original text and is from the word [[4237|prasia]]. These terms together being similar to a Hebrew idiom gives us the picture that they organized themselves in ''ranks or divisions'', so that numerous ranks formed a repetitive pattern, as it were in separate groups or plots.

|-
| Is the eating of the [[flesh]] about receiving the [[Eucharist]] in the ritual of [[communion]]?
|-
| If Jesus is sent of the [[Father]] and Jesus is the word or [[logos]] of the [[Father]] ''made flesh'' then is it that bread/[[flesh]]/[[logos]]/[[divine will]] of the [[Father]] which we must be eating not a crumb of bread given by men? 
|-
| If Jesus comes to do the will of the [[Father]] which we see Him tell us He did in '''V38-40''' and we are eating the bread/[[flesh]]/[[logos]]/[[divine will]] of the [[Father]] then how do we know what that will is?

== Great multitude followed ==

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.

=== Tested Philip ===

5  When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company<Ref name="ochlos">{{3793}}</Ref> come unto him, he saith unto Philip, <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Whence shall we buy<Ref name="agorazo">{{59}}</Ref>  bread<Ref name="artos">{{740}}</Ref> , that these may eat?'''</span>

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<Ref name="artos">{{740}}</Ref>, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

== Organizing five thousand people ==

10  And Jesus said, <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Make<Ref name="poieo">{{4160}}</Ref> the men<Ref name="aner">{{435}}</Ref> sit down.<Ref name="anapipto">{{377}}</Ref>'''</span> Now there was much grass in the place. So the men<Ref name="anthropos">{{444}}</Ref> sat down<Ref name="anapipto">{{377}}</Ref>, in number about five thousand.

== Jesus gives all his food away ==

11  And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed(διέδωκεν diedōken)<Ref name="diadidomi">{{1239}}</Ref> to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down<Ref name="anakeimai">{{345}}</Ref>; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

12  When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, <span style="color:#FF0000">'''Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.'''</span>

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]].

== Make him a king  ==

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.

16  And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,

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.

18  And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

== Jesus Walks on Water ==

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.

20  But he saith unto them, <span style="color:red">'''It is I; be not afraid.'''</span>

21  Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.


== Looking for Bread ==

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;

23  (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)

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.

25  And when they had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when camest thou hither?

26  Jesus answered them and said, <span style="color:red">'''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.'''</span>

== I Am the Bread of Life ==

27  <span style="color:red">'''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.'''</span>


28 ¶  Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

29  Jesus answered and said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.'''</span>

30  They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

31  Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

32  Then Jesus said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Verily, verily, I say unto you, [[Moses]] gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.'''</span>

33  <span style="color:red">'''For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the [[world]].'''</span>

34  Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

35  And Jesus said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.'''</span>

=== Seeing is not believing ===

36  <span style="color:red">'''But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.'''</span>

37  <span style="color:red">'''All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.'''</span>

38  <span style="color:red">'''For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.'''</span>

=== The will of the Father ===

39  <span style="color:red">'''And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.'''</span>

40  <span style="color:red">'''And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.'''</span>

=== Murmur not ===

41  The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from 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?

43  Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Murmur not among yourselves.'''</span>

== Learned of the Father ==

44  <span style="color:red">'''No man can come to me, except the [[Corban of Christ|Father which hath sent me draw him]]: and I will raise him up at the last day.'''</span>

45  <span style="color:red">'''It is written in the [[prophets]], And they shall be all taught<Ref name="didaktos">{{1318}}</Ref> of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned<Ref name="manthanō">{{3120}}</Ref> of the [[Father]], cometh unto me.'''</span>

46  <span style="color:red">'''Not that any man hath seen the [[Father]], save he which is of God, he hath seen the [[Father]].'''</span>

47  <span style="color:red">'''Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.'''</span>


== I Am bread from heaven ==

48  <span style="color:red">'''I am that bread of life.'''</span>

49  <span style="color:red">'''Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.'''</span>

50  <span style="color:red">'''This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.'''</span>

51  <span style="color:red">'''I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my [[flesh]], which I will give for the life of the [[world]].'''</span>


== They strove ==

52  The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?

53  Then Jesus said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.'''</span>

54  <span style="color:red">'''Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.'''</span>

55  <span style="color:red">'''For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.'''</span>

56  <span style="color:red">'''He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.'''</span>

57  <span style="color:red">'''As the living [[Father]] hath sent me, and I live by the [[Father]]: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.'''</span>

58  <span style="color:red">'''This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.'''</span>

59  These things said he in the [[synagogue]], as he taught in Capernaum.

== The Words of Eternal Life ==

60 ¶  Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?

61  When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, <span style="color:red">'''Doth this offend you?'''</span>

62  <span style="color:red">'''What and if ye shall see the  [[Son of man]] ascend up where he was before?'''</span>

== Spirit that quickeneth ==

63  <span style="color:red">'''It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.'''</span>

64  <span style="color:red">'''But there are some of you that believe not.'''</span> For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

=== Faith is given ===

65  And he said, <span style="color:red">'''Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my [[Father]].'''</span>

=== Disciples left ===

66  From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

67  Then said Jesus unto the twelve, <span style="color:red">'''Will ye also go away?'''</span>

68  Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of [[eternal life]].

69  And we believe and are sure that thou art that [[Christ]], the Son of the living God.

70  Jesus answered them, <span style="color:red">'''Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?'''</span>

71  He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
