There Will be Bread

The question Jesus asked Philip is worthy of note. Jn.6:5—“Where shall we buy bread…?” He did not ask, “Can we buy bread?” or “Is it possible to get hold of some bread?” There will be bread and the only question at this point is, “Where is the bread going to come from?” Jn.6:6—“And He said this to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.” Jesus was not in a quandary wondering what might could be done. “He Himself knew what He would do” and knew the outcome. But He was wanting disciples who would participate in the miracle. In this context, Jesus was not looking for the speaking of words but for action.
