| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Truth for Life where we are studying Jesus truly, truly statements. |
| 0:30.4 | Today, Alasturbeg investigates an incident where Jesus worked within the natural world in a phenomenally supernatural way, |
| 0:38.7 | he multiplied a few loaves of bread and a couple of fish to feed thousands. |
| 0:43.7 | So what does this miracle mean, and why does it matter? |
| 0:47.2 | We'll find the answer today in John's Gospel. |
| 1:06.9 | I invite you to turn to the Gospel of John and to Chapter 6 and to follow along as I read the first 15 verses. |
| 1:17.4 | John chapter 6 and verse 1. After this, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, |
| 1:25.4 | which is the Sea of Tiberius. And a large crowd was following him because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. Jesus went up on the mountain, |
| 1:30.1 | and there he sat down with his disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. |
| 1:38.3 | Lifting up his eyes then and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, |
| 1:45.0 | Where are we to buy bread so that these people may eat? He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. |
| 1:54.8 | Philip answered him, 200 denari worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little. |
| 2:02.8 | One of his disciples, Andrews, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, |
| 2:07.2 | there is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many? |
| 2:15.7 | Jesus said, have the people sit down. Now, there was much grass in the place, |
| 2:22.1 | so the men sat down about 5,000 in number. Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, |
| 2:28.6 | he distributed them to those who were seated, so also the fish, as much as they wanted. And when they had eaten |
| 2:36.3 | their fill, he told his disciples, gather up the leftover fragments that nothing may be lost. |
| 2:42.6 | So they gathered them up and filled 12 baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves |
| 2:47.9 | left by those who had eaten. When the people saw the sign that he had done, |
| 2:52.9 | they said, this is indeed the prophet who is to come into the world. Perceiving then that they |
| 3:00.3 | were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain |
