The document summarizes a Bible passage where Jesus feeds over 5,000 people with just five loaves of bread and two fish. It describes how Andrew offered what he had, a boy shared his meager lunch of five loaves and two fish, and Jesus blessed and multiplied the food so that there were leftovers after all had eaten. It emphasizes that these individuals willingly gave what little they had to help others.
2. • John 6:5-14
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes,
and saw a great company come unto
him, he saith unto Philip, Whence
shall we buy bread, that these may
eat?
• 6 And this he said to prove him: for
he himself knew what he would do.
• 7 Philip answered him, Two hundred
pennyworth of bread is not sufficient
for them, that every one of them may
take a little.
3. • 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon
Peter's brother, saith unto him,
• 9 There is a lad here, which hath five
barley loaves, and two small fishes:
but what are they among so many?
• 10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit
down. Now there was much grass in
the place. So the men sat down, in
number about five thousand.
4. • 11 And Jesus took the loaves; and
when he had given thanks, he
distributed to the disciples, and the
disciples to them that were set down;
and likewise of the fishes as much as
they would.
• 12 When they were filled, he said
unto his disciples, Gather up the
fragments that remain, that nothing
be lost.
5. • 13 Therefore they gathered them
together, and filled twelve baskets
with the fragments of the five barley
loaves, which remained over and
above unto them that had eaten.
• 14 Then those men, when they had
seen the miracle that Jesus did, said,
This is of a truth that prophet that
should come into the world.
