43 “How can I set this before a hundred men?” his servant asked.
But Elisha answered, “Give it to the people to eat.(D) For this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.(E)’” 44 Then he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord.
