When Jesus raised his eyes and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, he said to Philip, “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?”
Where can I get meat to give to all this people? For they are crying to me, ‘Give us meat for our food.’
The disciples said to him, “Where could we ever get enough bread in this deserted place to satisfy such a crowd?”
So they went off in the boat by themselves to a deserted place.
When the apostles returned, they explained to him what they had done. He took them and withdrew in private to a town called Bethsaida.
The next day he decided to go to Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the town of Andrew and Peter.
Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the law, and also the prophets, Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
But Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Nathanael said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, I saw you under the fig tree.”
Do you not say, ‘In four months the harvest will be here’? I tell you, look up and see the fields ripe for the harvest.
