Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known,
and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our
hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may
perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Let us pray.
O God, the protector of all who trust in you, without whom nothing is
strong, nothing is holy: Increase and multiply upon us your mercy; that,
with you as our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal,
that we lose not the things eternal; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives
and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The Lessons
Reader:
A Reading from Second Kings
(please be seated)
2 Kings 4:42-44
A man came from Baal-shalishah, bringing food from the first fruits to the man
of God: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said,
"Give it to the people and let them eat." But his servant said, "How can I set this
before a hundred people?" So he repeated, "Give it to the people and let them
eat, for thus says the LORD, `They shall eat and have some left.'" He set it
before them, they ate, and had some left, according to the word of the LORD.

Ephesians 3:14-21
I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on
earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may
grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his
Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being
rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend,
with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to
know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with
all the fullness of God. Now to him who by the power at work within us is able
to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be
glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

John 6:1-21
Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias.
A large crowd kept following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing
for the sick. Jesus went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples.
Now the Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near. When he looked up and
saw a large crowd coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, "Where are we to buy
bread for these people to eat?" He said this to test him, for he himself knew what
he was going to do. Philip answered him, "Six months' wages would not buy
enough bread for each of them to get a little." One of his disciples, Andrew,
Simon Peter's brother, said to him, "There is a boy here who has five barley
loaves and two fish. But what are they among so many people?" Jesus said,
"Make the people sit down." Now there was a great deal of grass in the place; so
they sat down, about five thousand in all. Then Jesus took the loaves, and when
he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated; so also the
fish, as much as they wanted. When they were satisfied, he told his disciples,
"Gather up the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost." So they
gathered them up, and from the fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those
who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets. When the people saw the sign that he
had done, they began to say, "This is indeed the prophet who is to come into the
world." When Jesus realized that they were about to come and take him by force
to make him king, he withdrew again to the mountain by himself. When evening
came, his disciples went down to the sea, got into a boat, and started across the
sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. The sea
became rough because a strong wind was blowing.
When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the
sea and coming near the boat, and they were terrified. But he said to them, "It is I;
do not be afraid." Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately
the boat reached the land toward which they were going.
