Jesus answered, “You give them something to eat.” The disciples replied, “All we have is five loaves of bread and two fish—unless you want us to go out and buy food for all these people!”
You know how generous our Lord Jesus Christ was. Even though he was rich, he became poor for your sake, so that because he became poor, you would become rich.
Then I heard what sounded like a voice coming from among the four living creatures. It said, “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s pay, and six pounds of barley for a day’s pay, but don’t damage the olive oil or the wine!”
When Mary reached the place where Jesus was and she saw him, she knelt down in front of him. “Lord,” she said, “if you had been here, my brother would not have died.”
Jesus took the loaves and gave thanks, and then they were distributed to the people where they sat. He did the same with the fish. They gave out as much as each person wanted.
