NASB
"This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do."
— John 6:6, NASB
“And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.”
“And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. ”
“This he said to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.”
“(Now Jesus said this to test him, for he knew what he was going to do.)”
“And this he said to try him: for he himself knew what he would do.”
“This he said, testing him: for he had no doubt what he himself would do.”
“And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.”
Then Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat down with His disciples.
Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was near.
Therefore Jesus, lifting up His eyes and seeing that a large crowd was coming to Him, *said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?"
This He was saying to test him, for He Himself knew what He was intending to do.
Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, for everyone to receive a little."
One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, *said to Him,
"There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are these for so many people?"
