(For his disciples had gone away into the city to buy food.)
Many Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, “He told me all that I ever did.”
So he came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the field that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people.”
Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?” He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.”
