I want there to be no doubt that Jesus Christ is My LORD and My Savior, and that I make no apologies and no yielding from that declaration. Faith in Christ Jesus is an absolute MUST for any who wish to go to Heaven and NOT be damned as eternal loss. But the choice to go to Heaven or be damned is a freewill choice.

John 6: 1-37
King James Version (KJV) in aqua Blue
Alternate Word Pictures with
Reiterations Version (AWPR) in Yellow
My Comments are in Green.
1 After these things Jesus
went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. (KJV)
1) After these things, Jesus – Yeshua departed – went away
over past and
beyond the other side of the Sea of Galilee,
(that) of Tiberias.
(AWPR)
2 And a great
multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on
them that were diseased. (KJV)
2) And accompanied and followed Him (together in the way)
a great – plenteous (unorganized) multitude,
because they
saw – observed of Him
the
miraculous signs (having a spiritual purpose)
which He did – performed – caused – brought
about
upon the weak – feeble – infirm – sick ones.
(AWPR)
3 And Jesus went
up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples. (KJV)
3) Then
Jesus – Yeshua came up into
the mountain,
and sat down in that place
with the Disciples – pupils – learners of Him.
(AWPR)
4 And the
passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. (KJV)
4) Then
was Pesach / the Passover,
the
Feast – the Holiday of the Judeans near – close.
(AWPR)
5 When Jesus then
lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto
Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? (KJV)
5) Accordingly – Thereupon,
Jesus – Yeshua
raising up the eyes (of Him) upon
and
attentively beholding with admiring wonder
because a
plenteous – great (unorganized) multitude
is coming
forth (publicly) up
alongside with Him,
He lays
down definite words and says
up
alongside with Philip,
‘From where – From what place
in a market place assembly (may
we)
buy bread loaves, in order that these (ones)
may eat?’
(AWPR)
6 And this he
said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. (KJV)
6) This
then, He laid down definite words and said
to prove him by trial / by an experience of testing,
because He intuitively knew what He had in mind
and was already willing and about to
do – make – bring about – perform.
(AWPR)
7 Philip answered
him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one
of them may take a little. (KJV)
7) Philip
discreetly answered Him,
‘Bread loaves of 200 Denarii [of 200 day’s wages]
are certainly not sufficient to satisfy
are certainly not enough for them
in order that every one of them
may take (up) and receive a small – little (piece).
(AWPR)
8 One of his
disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, (KJV)
8)
One of the Disciples of Him,
Andrew, the brother of
Simon Peter,
lays down definite words and says to Him,
(AWPR)
9 There is a lad
here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they
among so many? (KJV)
9) There is a young boy here in
this place
who has –
holds – possesses and continues to possess
5 barley
bread loaves and 2 Opsaria – 2 Prepared Fish;
[Opsaria in
John's Gospel is used with an intent that they are pre-scaled, pre-gutted, and
prepared to some degree. That is how the word is used in Chapter 21
verse 9, when the opsarion is in the process of being cooked by Jesus for the
disciples. However, in Chapter 6, it is likely meant as being quite
recently smoked and pre-cooked that same day or the day before, and was likely
wrapped in a clean linen cloth separately from another clean linen cloth about
the barley loaves. ]
but what are
these into so many?'
(AWPR)
10) Then Jesus said,
‘Make – Cause the men to fall down
and recline.’
Then [at that time
there] was much –
plenteous
[presumably rich, thick, and green]
grass in the place.
The men therefore fell down and
reclined.
The number as if 5,000.
(AWPR)
11 And Jesus took
the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and
the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as
they would. (KJV)
11)
Then Jesus - Yeshua took up and seized the loaves.
And having given willing good and noble thanks
divided out and distributed of His own good will and accord
through
the Disciples;
then the Disciples to those falling down and reclining
in equal or like manner also out of the
Opsarion - Prepared Fish
as great as - as much as - as many as
they desired - they willed and were pleased to have.
(AWPR)
12 When they were
filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that
nothing be lost. (KJV)
12) Then as they were filled in and stuffed (being happily satiated),
He
lays down definite words and says to the Disciples of Him,
'Lead and assemble together - Gather up
the around and above excess - that remaining or left over
broken off
[through a finger snapping motion as one may break off
a leaf,
which action Jesus exclusively used in breaking
bread and distinguished Him as a peculiarity to
His
Disciples]
fragments [of miraculously multiplied bread
and prepared
fish]
in order that not a certain one - not a single one
may be
wholly destroyed - may perish away - may fall out
and away like rain and be lost [from the
owner].
(AWPR)
13 Therefore they
gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the
five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. (KJV)
13) Accordingly - Thereupon,
they led and assembled together - they gathered up
and stuff full to a heaping
12 Baskets
[of an
approximate size and capacity having 2 cubic feet and up]
with
fragments out of the 5 barley loaves of bread,
which (was)
the around and above excess - the remaining
or left over to those having eaten.
(AWPR)
14 Then those men,
when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that
prophet that should come into the world. (KJV)
14) Accordingly - Therefore, the men seeing and perceiving what
miraculous sign (having a Spiritual purpose)
Jesus
did - made - caused - performed - brought about,
laid down
definite words and said,
'This is in True Reality the PROPHET:
He coming into the World (of man - of mankind).'
(AWPR)
15 When Jesus
therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a
king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. (KJV)
15) Accordingly - Therefore, Jesus knowing (by observation)
that they
are at the point of and about
to come,
seize, and snatch Him away
in order
that they might make Him King,
departed
back again - withdrew again
into the
mountain, Himself alone.
(AWPR)
16 And when even
was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea, (KJV)
16) Then when (between the) evening
[that is the 3
p.m. to sunset time reckoned by the Jews
as in Exodus 12:6's "between the
evenings"]
came into
being,
the Disciples
of Him descended down upon the Sea.
(AWPR)
17 And entered
into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and
Jesus was not come to them. (KJV)
17) And having come and entered into the boat,
they were coming forth across to the other side of the sea
to
Capernaum.
And darkness having now already happened;
also, Jesus had certainly not come forth and gone
up
alongside with them;
(AWPR)
18 And the sea
arose by reason of a great wind that blew. (KJV)
18) Was the sea, by a great blowing wind, had thoroughly arisen.
(AWPR)
19 So when they
had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on
the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid. (KJV)
19) Therefore having been driven and / or rowed
so
as - in what manner or way
25
or 30 stadia [ ca. 2.86 to
3.43 miles from land],
they intently gazed and saw Jesus - Yeshua
walking round about upon the sea,
coming to be near - close to the boat.
And they were terrified (wanting to run away).
(AWPR)
20 But he saith
unto them, It is I; be not afraid. (KJV)
20)
Then He lays down definite words and says to them,
'Ego Eimi! - I AM!
[Cf.
Septuagint Exodus 3:14 with Hebrew of Exodus 3:14.
I AM is
GOD's first Name He used of Himself to answer
Israel through Moses as to what
His Name is.
Technically, the translation of
the Name as defined in
Exodus 3:14 is "I AM (who
continuously is)". It is an
attesting as to the eternal
origins of Himself, even as
is declared of Messiah in
Micah 5:2, which Jesus fulfills.
Jesus tells these sons
of Israel in the boat His Name by
which He made
Himself known through Moses
almost 1580
years earlier when He spoke faces to faces
with Moses, a date some
1550 years prior to Jesus's - Yeshua's
later incarnation in order to
fulfill prophecy, even though
the incarnation also much
concealed His Deity.]
Do not be terrified (so as to want to
run away).'
(AWPR)
21 Then they
willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land
whither they went. (KJV)
21) Therefore, they had in mind - purpose - will
to
take and seize - to grab and pull
Him
into the boat:
and
straightway - immediately the boat
[which was ca.
2.86 - 3.43 miles out to sea]
came into being upon the land
[at Capernaum]
into which they were going away
in stealth to.
(AWPR)
[Note: Compare the other details given by Luke written in A.D. 50 @ Luke 8:22-25, other details by Matthew written in A.D. 55-56 @ Matthew 8:23-27, other details by Mark as preached from Peter written in A.D. 57 @ Mark 4:35-41: all in regard to the above incident and the unspoken importance that Jesus was fulfilling Psalm 107:29-30
"He maketh the storm a
calm, so that the waves thereof are still. Then are they glad because they be
quiet; so He bringeth them to their desired haven." ]
22 The day
following, when the people which stood on the other side of the sea saw that
there was none other boat there, save that one whereinto his disciples were
entered, and that Jesus went not with his disciples into the boat, but that his
disciples were gone away alone; (KJV)
22)
Upon tomorrow - Upon the next day,
the standing as set in place ones of the
(unorganized) multitude - throng - crowd
over beyond - on the other side of the sea,
had beheld and seen that there was certainly not
another boat in that place, except one;
that one there into which the Disciples of Him
came and entered into,
and because that Jesus - Yeshua
certainly not came and entered together
into the boat with the Disciples of Him,
but the Disciples of Him departed - went away
alone.
(AWPR)
23 (Howbeit there
came other boats from Tiberias nigh unto the place where they did eat bread,
after that the Lord had given thanks:) (KJV)
23) Then came other boats from Tiberias
close to - near the place where they ate the bread loaves,
the
LORD having willingly given good and noble thanks.
(AWPR)
24 When the people
therefore saw that Jesus was not there, neither his disciples, they also took
shipping, and came to Capernaum, seeking for Jesus. (KJV)
24)
Therefore, at what time then the (unorganized) multitude
saw that Jesus - Yeshua is certainly not there in that
place,
nor the Disciples of Him,
they came and entered into the boats themselves also,
and came forth (so as to make a public appearance)
[at about 5,000
men (not counting the women and children),
cf. verse 10, being a spectacle in and of
themselves]
into
Capernaum,
seeking and
striving to find Jesus - Yeshua.
(AWPR)
25 And when they
had found him on the other side of the sea, they said unto him, Rabbi, when
camest thou hither? (KJV)
25) And having found Him by search and inquiry
beyond -
on the other side of the sea,
they said
to Him,
'Rabbi, when - at what time
did You come here to this place?'
(AWPR)
26 Jesus answered
them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw
the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled. (KJV)
26) Jesus discerningly and discreetly answered them and said,
'Amen - So be it. Amen - So be it.
I lay down definite words and say unto you,
you seek and strive to find Me
certainly not because you beheld and saw
miraculous signs ( having a spiritual purpose),
but because you ate out of the bread loaves
and were fed until you were satisfied.
(AWPR)
27 Labour not for
the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting
life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father
sealed. (KJV)
27)
Actively work and exert (yourselves) - Labor
not for the wholly perishing food,
but (for) the food that remains and dwells - waits and
endures
into perpetual eternal life,
which the Son of Man out of His own good will and
accord
will give to you;
because / for this One has GOD the Father
set His signet seal to - sealed and affirmed to.'
(AWPR)
28 Then said they
unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? (KJV)
28) Accordingly - Therefore they said up to and alongside with Him,
'What may we do - cause - bring about - perform - produce
in order that we may actively labor and
do - cause - bring about - perform - produce
the works - deed - performance of GOD?'
(AWPR)
29 Jesus answered
and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he
hath sent. (KJV)
29) Jesus discerningly and discreetly answered and said to them,
[possibly
pointing to Himself as he did so]
'This One is the work - deed - performance of GOD,
in order that you believe and trust
into He
whom that One has sent forth out.'
(AWPR)
30 They said
therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe
thee? what dost thou work? (KJV)
30) Therefore - Accordingly, they said to Him,
'What miraculous sign therefore,
do you do - cause - bring about - perform -
produce
in order that we may see and perceive
and may trust and believe into You?
What do You actively perform - actively work?
(AWPR)
31 Our fathers did
eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to
eat. (KJV)
31) The Fathers of us ate the Manna
in
the desert - deserted wilderness,
according to as it has been written - engraved - inscribed,
' 'He of His own good will and accord gave to them
Bread out of Heaven to eat.' '
(AWPR)
32 Then Jesus said
unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from
heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. (KJV)
32) Therefore Jesus - Yeshua said to them,
'Amen - So be it. Amen - So be it.
I lay down definite words and say unto you,
Moses has certainly not
given you the Bread out of Heaven;
but the Father of Me of His own good will and accord
has given you the True Reality Bread
out of Heaven.
(AWPR)
33 For the bread
of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. (KJV)
33) Because the Bread of GOD is He
descending and coming down out of Heaven,
and of His own good will and accord giving
eternal life to the Caretakers - the World
(of man - of mankind).'
(AWPR)
34 Then said they
unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread. (KJV)
34) Then they said up alongside with Him,
'LORD, at all times then - always then,
of Your own good will and accord give
us this Bread.'
(AWPR)
35 And Jesus said
unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and
he that believeth on me shall never thirst. (KJV)
35) Then Jesus - Yeshua said to them,
'Ego Eimi - I AM.
The Bread of Eternal Life.
He coming forth (publicly so as to make an appearance)
up alongside with Me
shall certainly not - shall in no way
hunger - starve - be famished.
And He believing and trusting into Me
shall certainly not - shall in no way
be dry and thirsty,
at any time ever!'
(AWPR)
36 But I said unto
you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. (KJV)
36) But I told you that also you have seen - beheld
[and face to
face conversed with] Me,
and certainly
do not believe.
(AWPR)
37 All that the
Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise
cast out. (KJV)
37)
All that the Father of his own good will and accord
gives up alongside with Me
will come forth to be here,
and the (one) coming forth (so as to make a public
appearance)
up alongside with Me,
I shall certainly not - I shall in no way
cast throw - drop out without.'
