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.
7 Philip answered him, "Eight months' pay would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"
8 Another of his disciples spoke up. It was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
9 He said, "Here is a boy with five small loaves of barley bread. He also has two small fish. But how far will that go in such a large crowd?"
