This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do. And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little. Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to Jesus, One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,

Jesus said, Let the people be seated. Now there was much grass in that place. And those seated on the grass were about five thousand. 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.
Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of. 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.
And when they had had enough, Jesus said to his disciples, Take up the broken bits which are over, so that nothing may be wasted. When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
So they took them up: twelve baskets full of broken bits of the five cakes which were over after the people had had enough. 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.
And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world. 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.

Jesus walks on the sea

Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself. 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.
When evening came the disciples went down to the sea; And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them. And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.
The sea was getting rough because of a strong wind which was blowing. And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.
Jesus Walking on the Sea (John 6:19-20)
After they had gone three or four miles they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near to the boat; and they had great fear.		 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.
But he said to them, It is I, have no fear. But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.
Then they readily took him into the boat: and straight away the boat was at the land to which they were going. Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

He directs to spiritual food

The day after, the people who were on the other side of the sea saw that only one small boat had been there, that Jesus had not gone in that boat with the disciples, but that the disciples had gone away by themselves. 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;
Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise. (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after that the Lord had given thanks:)
So when the people saw that Jesus was not there, or his disciples, they got into those boats and went over to Capernaum looking for Jesus. When the people therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus.

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.
Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark. 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.

His talk with the multitude

Then they said to him, How may we do the works of God? Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Jesus, answering, said to them, This is to do the work of God: to have faith in him whom God has sent. Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
So they said, What sign do you give us, so that we may see and have faith in you? What do you do? They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

Jesus then said to them, Truly I say to you, What Moses gave you was not the bread from heaven; it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 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.
The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world. For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

But it is as I said to you: you have seen me, and still you have no faith. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.
And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day. 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.
This, I say, is my Father's pleasure, that everyone who sees the Son and has faith in him may have eternal life: and I will take him up on the last day. 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.

Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another. Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.
No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
Not that anyone has ever seen the Father; only he who is from God, he has seen the Father. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

Your fathers took the manna in the waste land--and they are dead. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.

I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

Then Jesus said unto them, 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.
He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink has eternal life: and I will take him up from the dead at the last day. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
My flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.

When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?

The spirit is the life giver; the flesh is of no value: the words which I have said to you are spirit and they are life. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
And he said, This is why I said to you, No man is able to come to me if he is not given the power to do so by the Father. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
