Isaiah 55:1-5

55 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters; and he that hath no money, come ye, buy, and eat: yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price!

Wherefore do ye spend money for [that which is] not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye [that which is] good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the sure mercies of David.

Behold, I have given him [for] a witness to the peoples, a prince and commander to the peoples.

Behold, thou shalt call a nation thou knowest not, and a nation [that] knew not thee shall run unto thee, because of Jehovah thy God, and the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

Psalm 145:8-9

Jehovah is gracious and merciful; slow to anger, and of great loving-kindness.

Jehovah is good to all; and his tender mercies are over all his works.

Psalm 145:14-21

14 Jehovah upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all that are bowed down.

15 The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their food in its season.

16 Thou openest thy hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

17 Jehovah is righteous in all his ways, and kind in all his works.

18 Jehovah is nigh unto all that call upon him, unto all that call upon him in truth.

19 He fulfilleth the desire of them that fear him; he heareth their cry, and saveth them.

20 Jehovah keepeth all that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.

21 My mouth shall speak the praise of Jehovah; and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

Romans 9:1-5

I say [the] truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing witness with me in [the] Holy Spirit,

that I have great grief and uninterrupted pain in my heart,

for I have wished, I myself, to be a curse from the Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen, according to flesh;

who are Israelites; whose [is] the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law-giving, and the service, and the promises;

whose [are] the fathers; and of whom, as according to flesh, [is] the Christ, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.

Matthew 14:13-21

13 And Jesus, having heard it, went away thence by ship to a desert place apart. And the crowds having heard [of it] followed him on foot from the cities.

14 And going out he saw a great crowd, and was moved with compassion about them, and healed their infirm.

15 But when even was come, his disciples came to him saying, The place is desert, and [much of] the [day] time already gone by; dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.

16 But Jesus said to them, They have no need to go: give *ye* them to eat.

17 But they say to him, We have not here save five loaves and two fishes.

18 And he said, Bring them here to me.

19 And having commanded the crowds to recline upon the grass, having taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed: and having broken the loaves, he gave [them] to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the crowds.

20 And all ate and were filled, and they took up what was over and above of fragments twelve hand-baskets full.

21 But those that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
