Philip

43The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.

The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, "Follow me."

44Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.

Philip came from a town called Bethsaida. Andrew and Peter came from that same town.

45Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Philip found Nathanael. He said, "We have found the one Moses wrote about in the law. The prophets wrote about him too. He is Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

46And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.

Nathanael said, "Can anything good come from Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

47Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him. He said about him, "Here is a true Israelite. He does not trick anyone."

48Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.

Nathanael asked, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered, "I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you."

49Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

Nathanael said, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!"

50Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.

Jesus said, "You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see much greater things than that."

51And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Then he said, "I tell you the truth. You will all see heaven open. You will see God's angels going up and coming down on the Son of Man."

1After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.

After this, Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee. That lake is also called the Sea of Tiberias.

2And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.

A big crowd followed him. They had seen him heal sick people in powerful ways.

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

Jesus went up on the mountain. He sat down there with his disciples, his close followers.

4And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

The Passover was near. It was a special holiday for the Jewish people.

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

Jesus looked up and saw a big crowd coming to him. He said to Philip, "Where can we buy bread for all these people?"

6And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

Jesus asked this to test Philip. He already knew what he was going to do.

7Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.

Philip answered, "Even eight months of pay would not buy enough bread. Each person would only get a tiny piece."

8One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, saith unto him,

Andrew was one of his disciples. He was Simon Peter's brother. Andrew said to Jesus,

9There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?

"There is a boy here with five barley loaves and two small fish. But that is almost nothing for so many people."

10And 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.

Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place. So the men sat down. There were about five thousand of them.

11And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.

Jesus took the loaves and thanked God for them. He handed the food out to the people sitting there. He did the same with the fish. Everyone got as much as they wanted.

12When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.

When they were full, he said to his disciples, "Pick up the leftover pieces. Do not waste any of it."

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

So they picked the pieces up. The leftovers from the five barley loaves filled twelve baskets.

14Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

The people saw the sign that Jesus did. They said, "This really is the Prophet that God promised to send into the world."

20And there were certain Greeks among them that came up to worship at the feast:

10Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
