Discipolii sugerează, după ore de vorbire, că Isus trebuie să - i trimită acasă să mănânce. Un băieţel i-a dat 5 pâini de orz şi 2 peşti. I-a asigurat că va fi suficient pentru toată lumea. Oamenii se întrebau. Isus s-a rugat.
1 After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick.3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.5 Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?”6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.7 Philip answered him, “Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little.”8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him,9 “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?”10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted.12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, “Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost.”13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten.14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, “This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!”

6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do.
Mark 6
35 Dar făcându-se târziu deja, ucenicii au venit la El şi i-au zis: „Locul acesta este pustiu şi este târziu deja.36 Dă-le drumul, să meargă în cetăţile şi satele din apropiere să-şi cumpere ceva de mâncare.”37 Iisus însă le-a răspuns: „Daţi-le voi să mănânce.” Iar ei i-au zis: „Vrei să mergem noi să cumpărăm pâine de două sute de dinari şi să le dăm să mănânce?”38 El le-a zis: „Câte pâini aveţi? Mergeţi şi vedeţi.” Iar după ce au văzut, i-au spus: „Cinci pâini şi doi peşti.”39 Atunci le-a poruncit să-i aşeze pe toţi, cete-cete, pe iarba verde.40 Şi oamenii au şezut cete-cete, câte o sută şi câte cincizeci.41 Iar El, luând cele cinci pâini şi cei doi peşti şi ridicându-şi privirea către cer, a binecuvântat şi a frânt pâinile. Apoi le-a dat ucenicilor săi, ca să le pună înaintea oamenilor; la fel a împărţit şi cei doi peşti, tuturor.42 Şi toţi au mâncat şi s-au săturat.
