All Lands Summoned to Praise God
A Psalm of thanksgiving.
1 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth.
2
Serve the Lord with gladness;
come into his presence with singing.
3 Know that the Lord is God.
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving
and his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him; bless his name.
5 For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever
and his faithfulness to all generations.
2nd Scripture Reading – John 6:1–13
Feeding the Five Thousand
1 After this Jesus went to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias. 2 A
large crowd kept following him because they saw the signs that he was doing for the sick. 3
Jesus
went up the mountain and sat down there with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the festival of
the Jews, was near.
5 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?”
6 He said this to test him, for he
himself knew what he was going to do. 7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii would not
buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.”
8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s
brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish. But what are
they among so many people?”
10
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. 11 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. 12 When they were satisfied, he told his disciples, “Gather up
the fragments left over, so that nothing may be lost.”
13 So they gathered them up, and from the
fragments of the five barley loaves, left by those who had eaten, they filled twelve baskets.
