John 6:15

Jesus
Jesus ChristThe kingdom of God

13 So they collected them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

14 When the people saw the sign that Jesus had performed, they began to say, “Truly this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”

Then Jesus, realizing that they were about to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself.

16 When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet gone out to them.
