42 A man came from ^aBaal-shalishah, ^bbringing the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Elisha said, ^c“Give to the men, that they may eat.” 43 But his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred men?” So he repeated, “Give them to the men, that they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’” 44 So he set it before them. And they ate and had some left, according to the word of the Lord.

Mark 8:2-3

John 6:4-10

4 Now ^jthe Passover, the ^kfeast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 ^lLifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to ^mPhilip, “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 ⁿPhilip answered him, “Two hundred denarii ^{▼▼A denarius was a day’s wage for a laborer} worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get a little.” 8 One of his disciples, ^pAndrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him, 9 “There is a boy here who has five ^qbarley loaves and two fish, but ^rwhat are they for so many?” 10 Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” ^sNow there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number.
