JOHN –The Word Became Flesh • Unit 1: Jesus’ Public Ministry • Lesson 5: Relying On Our Only Hope Page 25
7 Philip said to Him, "The money we have is not
enough to buy bread to give each one a little."
8 One of His followers was Andrew, Simon
Peter's brother. He said to Jesus,
9 "There is a boy here who has five loaves of
barley bread and two small fish. What is that for
so many people?"
10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There
was much grass in that place. About five thousand
men sat down.
11 Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks. Then He
gave the bread to those who were sitting down.
The fish were given out the same way. The people
had as much as they wanted.
12 When they were filled, Jesus said to His
followers, "Gather up the pieces that are left. None
will be wasted."
13 The followers gathered the pieces together.
Twelve baskets were filled with pieces of barley
bread. These were left after all the people had
eaten.
14 The people saw the powerful work Jesus had
done. They said, "It is true! This is the One Who
speaks for God Who is to come into the world."
15 Jesus knew they were about to come and take
Him to make Him king, so He went to the
mountain by Himself.
…25 The people found Him on the other side of
the lake. They said to Him, "Teacher, when did
You come here?"
26 Jesus said to them, "For sure, I tell you, you are
not looking for Me because of the powerful works.
You are looking for Me because you ate bread and
were filled.
27 Do not work for food that does not last. Work
for food that lasts forever. The Son of Man will
give you that kind of food. God the Father has
shown He will do this."
28 Then the people said to Him, "What are the
works God wants us to do?"
29 Jesus said to them, "This is the work of God,
that you put your trust in the One He has sent."
30 They said to Him, "Can You show us some
powerful work? Then we can see it and believe
You. What will You do?
31 Our early fathers ate bread that came from
heaven in the desert. This happened as it is
written, 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'
" (Exodus 16:15)
32 Then Jesus said to the people, "For sure, I tell
you, it was not Moses who gave you bread from
heaven. My Father gives you the true Bread from
heaven.
33 The Bread of God is He Who comes down
from heaven and gives life to the world."
34 They said to Him, "Sir, give us this Bread all
the time."
35 Jesus said to them, "I am the Bread of Life. He
who comes to Me will never be hungry. He who
puts his trust in Me will never be thirsty.”
...48 I am the Bread of Life.
49 Your early fathers ate bread that came from
heaven in the desert. They died.
50 But this is the Bread that comes down from
heaven. The one who eats it never dies.
51 I am the Living Bread that came down from
heaven. If anyone eats this Bread, he will live
forever. The Bread which I will give is My flesh.
I will give this for the life of the world."
...66 From that time on, many of His followers
turned back to their old ways of living. They
would not go along with Him after that.
67 Then Jesus said to the twelve followers, "Will
you leave Me also?"
68 Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, who else can
we go to? You have words that give life that lasts
forever.
69 We believe and know You are the Christ. You
are the Son of the Living God."
