Physical birth to spiritual rebirth John 4:6 Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour. (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) Will you give me a drink? Physical water to living water John 5:1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews Galilee Sign #3 “Do whatever He tells you” He took Jesus at His Word Pick up your mat and walk! (on a Sabbath, because Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath!) Conflicts with the Pharisees John 5:15,16 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him.

The Jewish Passover Feast was near. Sea of Galilee from the South 13 miles 8 miles Sea of Galilee from the South 7 miles Galilee 10 20 miles 0 John 6:5,6 When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. John 6 John 6:7-9 "Eight months' wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!“ Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, "Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?" John 6:10,11 "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them. Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. John 6:12,13 When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten.

John 6:14,15 After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world." Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself. 7 miles John 6:16,17 When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. 7 miles X X John 6:18,19 A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified. John 6:20,21 But he said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid." Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

Sign # “Do whatever He tells you” He took Jesus at His Word Pick up your mat and walk! Where shall we buy bread? (You feed them!) John 6:22 The next day the crowd that had stayed on the opposite shore of the lake realized that only one boat had been there, and that Jesus had not entered it with his disciples, but that they had gone away alone. John 6:23 Then some boats from Tiberias landed near the place where the people had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks. John 6:24 Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus. John 6:26 Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Rabbi, when did you get here?" John 6:27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval." What must we do to do the works God requires? John 6:29 Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent." John 5:27-29 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out--those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. The Bread of Life Discourse
