And when He looked round and saw an immense crowd coming towards Him, He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for all these people to eat?"

"Seven pounds' worth of bread," replied Philip, "is not enough for them all to get even a scanty meal."

Yet a number of small boats came from Tiberias to the neighbourhood of the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

Our forefathers ate the manna in the Desert, as it is written, 'He gave them bread out of Heaven to eat'."

"In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that Moses did not give you the bread out of Heaven, but my Father is giving you the bread--the true bread--out of Heaven.

For God's bread is that which comes down out of Heaven and gives Life to the world."

"Sir," they said, "always give us that bread."

"I am the bread of Life," replied Jesus; "he who comes to me shall never hunger, and he who believes in me shall never, never thirst.

Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.

I am the bread of Life.

Here is the bread that comes down out of Heaven that a man may eat it and not die.

I am the living bread come down out of Heaven. If a man eats this bread, he shall live for ever. Moreover the bread which I will give is my flesh given for the life of the world."

This is the bread which came down out of Heaven; it is unlike that which your forefathers ate--for they ate and yet died. He who eats this bread shall live for ever."

At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;

I am not speaking of all of you. I know whom I have chosen, but things are as they are in order that the Scripture may be fulfilled, which says, 'He who eats my bread has lifted up his heel against me.'

"It is the one," answered Jesus, "for whom I shall dip this piece of bread and to whom I shall give it." Accordingly He dipped the piece of bread, and took it and gave it to Judas, the son of the Iscariot Simon.

Then, after Judas had received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. "Lose no time about it," said Jesus to him.

So Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went out. And it was night.

As soon as they landed, they saw a charcoal fire burning there, with fish broiling on it, and bread close by.

Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave them some, and the fish in the same way.
