First Reading
2 KINGS 4:42-44
42 A man came from
Baal-Shalishah, bringing the man of God bread from the first-fruits, twenty
barley loaves and fresh grain still in the husk. 'Give it to the company to
eat,' Elisha said.
43 But his servant
replied, 'How can I serve this to a hundred men?' 'Give it to the company to
eat,' he insisted, 'for Yahweh says this, "They will eat and have some
left over." '
44 He served them; they
ate and had some left over, as Yahweh had said.

PSALMS 145:10-11, 15-16, 17-18
10 All your creatures
shall thank you, Yahweh, and your faithful shall bless you.
11 They shall speak of
the glory of your kingship and tell of your might,
15 All look to you in
hope and you feed them with the food of the season.
16 And, with generous
hand, you satisfy the desires of every living creature.
17 Upright in all that
he does, Yahweh acts only in faithful love.
18 He is close to all
who call upon him, all who call on him from the heart.
Second Reading
EPHESIANS 4:1-6
1 I, the prisoner in
the Lord, urge you therefore to lead a life worthy of the vocation to which you
were called.
2 With all humility and
gentleness, and with patience, support each other in love.
3 Take every care to
preserve the unity of the Spirit by the peace that binds you together.
4 There is one Body,
one Spirit, just as one hope is the goal of your calling by God.
5 There is one Lord,
one faith, one baptism,
6 and one God and
Father of all, over all, through all and within all.

Gospel Reading
JOHN 6:1-15
1 After this, Jesus
crossed the Sea of Galilee -- or of Tiberias-
2 and a large crowd
followed him, impressed by the signs he had done in curing the sick.
3 Jesus climbed the hillside
and sat down there with his disciples.
4 The time of the
Jewish Passover was near.
5 Looking up, Jesus saw
the crowds approaching and said to Philip, 'Where can we buy some bread for
these people to eat?'
6 He said this only to
put Philip to the test; he himself knew exactly what he was going to do.
7 Philip answered, 'Two
hundred denarii would not buy enough to give them a little piece each.'
8 One of his disciples,
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said,
9 'Here is a small boy
with five barley loaves and two fish; but what is that among so many?'
10 Jesus said to them,
'Make the people sit down.' There was plenty of grass there, and as many as
five thousand men sat down.
11 Then Jesus took the
loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were sitting there; he
then did the same with the fish, distributing as much as they wanted.
12 When they had eaten
enough he said to the disciples, 'Pick up the pieces left over, so that nothing
is wasted.'
13 So they picked them
up and filled twelve large baskets with scraps left over from the meal of five
barley loaves.
14 Seeing the sign that
he had done, the people said, 'This is indeed the prophet who is to come into
the world.'
15 Jesus, as he realised
they were about to come and take him by force and make him king, fled back to
the hills alone.
