His disciples asked him, “Where could anyone get enough bread to feed these people in this place where no one lives?”
The servant on whose arm the king was leaning answered the man of God, “Could this happen even if the Lord poured rain through windows in the sky?” Elisha replied, “You will see it with your own eyes, but you won’t eat any of it.”
His disciples asked him, “Where could we get enough bread to feed such a crowd in this place where no one lives?”
(They didn’t understand what had happened with the loaves of bread. Instead, their minds were closed.)
If I send them home before they’ve eaten, they will become exhausted on the road. Some of them have come a long distance.”
Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They answered, “Seven.”
