He said again, “Give it to the people, that they
may eat; for thus says the Lord: ‘They shall eat
and have some left over.’” 44 So he set it before
them; and they ate and had some left over,
according to the word of the Lord.

==== 7:19 - 7:24 ====
- Jesus sees large crowds approaching to hear him teach. And he asks one of his disciples, Philip, where they can get some bread for the people to eat. What does Philip say?
- Philip says that it would cost lots of money to feed that many people – two hundred denarii wouldn’t even be enough to give them a little piece each.
- Another disciple, Andrew, finds a boy who has some food with him. What does the boy have? Do you think five loaves and two fish is enough to feed a whole crowd of people? Neither did Andrew! But what does Jesus do?
- Jesus breaks the bread, gives thanks to God for it and shares it out among the people. He does just the same with the two fish.
- The people all share together and eat as much as they need. When they have finished, the disciples go round to collect all the leftovers. Can you remember how much was left?
- Jesus made it possible for five loaves and two fish to be shared out amongst 5000 people. And there were still twelve baskets full of food left at the end!
- Why do you think Jesus performs this miracle? What was he trying to tell the crowds?
Profession of our faith
I believe in God the Father, Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:
--bow down--
Who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate;
was crucified, died and was buried:
He descended into hell:
The third day he rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven,
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty: From there He will come to judge the leaving and the dead:
I believe in the Holy Spirit:
the holy catholic church:
the communion of saints:
The forgiveness of sins:
The resurrection of the body:
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
