Luke 9:10-15New Living Translation (NLT)
Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
10 When the apostles returned, they told Jesus everything they had done. Then he slipped quietly away with them toward the town of Bethsaida. 11 But the crowds found out where he was going, and they followed him. He welcomed them and taught them about the Kingdom of God, and he healed those who were sick.
12 Late in the afternoon the twelve disciples came to him and said, “Send the crowds away to the nearby villages and farms, so they can find food and lodging for the night. There is nothing to eat here in this remote place.”
13 But Jesus said, “You feed them.”
“But we have only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered. “Or are you expecting us to go and buy enough food for this whole crowd?” 14 For there were about 5,000 men there.
Jesus replied, “Tell them to sit down in groups of about fifty each.” 15 So the people all sat down.
Dear Father, When I have things happen in my life, I love sharing those with you. I love sharing with you whether good or bad. I know you hear me. I know that I can do nothing apart from you, Lord. It is because of you and through you that prayer is answered, doors are opened, and miracles take place. May I do as you say and trust you always. Thank you. In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
