John 6:3

Jesus

1 After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias).

2 A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick.

Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.

4 Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.

5 When Jesus looked up and saw a large crowd coming toward Him, He said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?”
