2 Kings 4:42-44

International Standard Version

Feeding of the Crowd^(A)

⁴² Later on, a man arrived from Baal-shalishah, bringing the man of God some bread as a first fruit offering. He had 20 loaves of barley and ripe ears of corn in his sack. So Elisha^[a] said, “Give them to the people so they can eat.”

⁴³ Elisha’s attendant asked, “What? Will this serve 100 men?”

But he replied, “Distribute it to the people so they can eat, because this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and have a surplus!’” ⁴⁴ So he served them, and they ate and had some left over, just as the Lord had indicated.
