When the followers stepped out of the boat and onto the shore, they saw a fire of hot coals. There were fish on the fire and some bread there too.
So the devil left Jesus. And then some angels came to Jesus and helped him.
I should not send them home hungry. If they leave without eating, they will faint while going home. Some of these people live a long way from here.”
It was cold, so the servants and guards had built a fire. They were standing around it and warming themselves. Peter was standing with these men.
Then Jesus said, “Bring some of the fish that you caught.”
Jesus walked to the food. He took the bread and gave it to them. Jesus also got the fish and gave it to them.
The other followers went to shore in the boat. They pulled the net full of fish. They were not very far from shore, only about 100 yards.
Then Jesus held the loaves of bread. Jesus thanked God for the bread and gave it to the people that were waiting to eat. He did the same with the fish. Jesus gave the people as much as they wanted.
“Here is a boy with five loaves of barley bread and two little fish. But that is not enough for so many people.”
