John 6:1-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Some time after this, Jesus crossed over to the other side of the Sea of Galilee. It is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

2. A large crowd of people followed him. They had seen the miraculous signs he had done on those who were sick.

3. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside. There he sat down with his disciples.

4. The Jewish Passover Feast was near.

5. Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward him. So he said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?"

6. He asked this only to put Philip to the test. He already knew what he was going to do.
