John 6 · Grade 3
I Am the Bread of Life
Read the Story
A great crowd followed Jesus because they saw His signs. Jesus asked Philip where they could buy bread. Andrew found a boy with five barley loaves and two fish. Jesus had the people sit on the grass. He gave thanks and passed out the food. About five thousand men ate as much as they wanted. The leftovers filled twelve baskets.
That evening the disciples rowed across the sea. A strong wind blew. They saw Jesus walking on the water and were afraid. He said, It is I. Don't be afraid.
The next day the crowd found Jesus again. He said they came because they ate bread, not because they saw who He was. He told them God gave their fathers manna in the wilderness. But He is the true bread from heaven. He said, I am the bread of life. Many followers left Him. Peter said they had nowhere else to go, because Jesus has the words of eternal life.
