THIS WEEK: Jesus Feeds the 5000
What We’ve Learned
Bible Story recap:
So many people wanted to hear Jesus preach that a crowd followed him to a remote location. As mealtime approached, the only food that was found was a boy’s lunch containing five small loaves of bread and two small fish. Jesus instructed the apostles to divide the food among the crowd of 5000 men (in addition to women and children). Everyone ate as much as they want and there was food left over at the end of the meal.
