Lucas 9

Jesus fed over 5,000 people miraculously.

12 Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve apostles came to him and said, "This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!" 13 But he said to them, "No, you yourselves give them something to eat!" They replied, "We (exc) have only five small loaves and two cooked fish. Are you (sg) going to give us the money to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?" 14 There were about 5,000 men there. He replied to the disciples, "No, just tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group." 15 After they told the people that, they all sat down. 16 Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked God for them. Then he broke them into pieces and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd. 17 All the people in the crowd ate until they all had enough to eat. Then the disciples collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
