John 6 · Grade 4

Bread from Heaven

Name Date

Read and Think

Near the Passover, a large crowd followed Jesus to a mountain. Jesus tested Philip by asking where to buy bread. Philip said even a lot of money would not be enough. Andrew found a boy with five barley loaves and two small fish. Jesus gave thanks and fed about five thousand men, with twelve baskets left over. The people wanted to make Him king by force, so He went away alone.

That night a storm rose on the sea. The disciples saw Jesus walking on the water, and they were terrified. He said, It is I. Don't be afraid. When they took Him into the boat, they quickly reached the shore.

The crowd searched for Jesus, wanting more food. Jesus told them to work for food that lasts to eternal life. Then He said, I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to Me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in Me will never be thirsty. Some grumbled, and many disciples stopped following Him. Jesus asked the twelve if they wanted to leave. Peter answered that Jesus alone has the words of eternal life.
