14:13-21 pp—Mk 6:32-44; Lk 9:10-17; Jn 6:1-13; 14:13-21 Ref—Mt 15:32-38
When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns.
When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them f and healed their sick.
As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food."
Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."
"We have here only five loaves h of bread and two fish," they answered.

This passage speaks to me da most. It's a normal response from da disciples to send da crowds away because it was gettin late n da number is overwhelming. There wouldn't be enuff food for all of them. But wad was interesting was when Jesus asked the disciples to give wad they have n notice EVERYTHING! It was only 5 loaves of bread n 2 fishes but it was enough to satisfied da 5000 of them, not including da women and children2. Today, God is not asking us to give everything wad we do not hav but wad we hav. God is tellin me "U go n giv wad u hav to this people(physical, emotional or spiritual needs) n I AM goin to bless them more than wad u can imagine".
