^33 (A)Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?”

^5 (A)Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to ^(B)Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” ⁶ But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

⁷ Philip answered Him, ^(C)“Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.”

⁸ One of His disciples, ^(D)Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him, ⁹ “There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, ^(E)but what are they among so many?”

¹³ But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.”

And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.”

⁴ Then His disciples answered Him, “How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?”

^5 (A)He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”

And they said, “Seven.”

³⁷ But He answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.”

And they said to Him, ^(A)“Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”

^15 (A)When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”

Elisha Feeds One Hundred Men^(A)

⁴² Then a man came from ^(B)Baal Shalisha, ^(C)and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and newly ripened grain in his knapsack. And he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat.”

⁴³ But his servant said, ^(D)“What? Shall I set this before one hundred men?”

He said again, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for thus says the Lord: ^(E)‘They shall eat and have some left over.’ ” ⁴⁴ So he set it before them; and they ate ^(F)and had some left over, according to the word of the Lord.

²¹ And Moses said, ^(A)“The people whom I am among are six hundred thousand men on foot; yet You have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.’ ^22 (B)Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide enough for them?”
