12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?

13 And he that was healed wist not who it was; for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in that place.

3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.

And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto bin, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat ?

6 (And this he said to prove him; for he himself knew what he would do.) 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred penny-worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Si. mon Peter's brother, saith unto him, 9 There is a lad here, which bath five barley-loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

10 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.

13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fraginents of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.

28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. 30 They said therefore unto him, What sign showest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work ?

64 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. 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of iny Father.

9 When he had said these words un to them, he abode still in Galilee. 10 ¶ But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly,but as it were in secret.

11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
