Moses said to the LORD, "Here I am leading 600,000 people, and you say that you will give them enough meat for a month?

Could enough cattle and sheep be killed to satisfy them? Are all the fish in the sea enough for them?"

Another time, a man came from Baal Shalishah, bringing Elisha twenty loaves of bread made from the first barley harvested that year, and some freshly-cut heads of grain. Elisha told his servant to feed the group of prophets with this,

So the servant set the food before them, and as the LORD had said, they all ate, and there was still some left over.

"You yourselves give them something to eat," Jesus answered. They asked, "Do you want us to go and spend two hundred silver coins on bread in order to feed them?"

His disciples asked him, "Where in this desert can anyone find enough food to feed all these people?"

"How much bread do you have?" Jesus asked. "Seven loaves," they answered.

Jesus looked around and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, so he asked Philip, "Where can we buy enough food to feed all these people?"

Philip answered, "For everyone to have even a little, it would take more than two hundred silver coins to buy enough bread."

That evening his disciples came to him and said, "It is already very late, and this is a lonely place. Send the people away and let them go to the villages to buy food for themselves."

But Jesus said to them, "You yourselves give them something to eat." They answered, "All we have are five loaves and two fish. Do you want us to go and buy food for this whole crowd?"

Another one of his disciples, Andrew, who was Simon Peter's brother, said,

"There is a boy here who has five loaves of barley bread and two fish. But they will certainly not be enough for all these people."
