Mar 10, 2025. Gospel: John 6:1-15. Fourth Sunday of Lent

“6:1. After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias. 6:2. And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased. 6:3. Jesus therefore went up into a mountain: and there he sat with his disciples. 6:4. Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand. 6:5. When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? 6:6. And this he said to try him: for he himself knew what he would do. 6:7. Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one may take a little. 6:8. One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him: 6:9. There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves and two fishes. But what are these among so many? “6:10. Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now, there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand. 6:11. And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would. 6:12. And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost. 6:13. They gathered up therefore and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which remained over and above to them that had eaten. 6:14. Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet that is to come into the world. 6:15. Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force and make him king, fled again into the mountains, himself alone. ” Excerpt from The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Complete Anonymous https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-bible-douay-rheims-complete/id955129088 This material may be protected by copyright.
