Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.

Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get so many loaves of bread in [this] deserted place, so as to satisfy so great a crowd?"

And Moses said, [This shall be] when the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread in the morning to the full, because the Lord has heard your murmuring, which you murmur against us: and what are we? For your murmuring is not against us, but against God.

I have heard the murmuring of the children of Israel. Speak to them, saying, Towards evening you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be satisfied with bread; and you shall know that I am the Lord your God.

When I afflict you with famine of bread, then ten women shall bake your loaves in one oven, and they shall render your loaves by weight; and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

And the woman said, [As] the Lord your God lives, I have not a cake, but only a handful of meal in this pitcher, and a little oil in a jar; and behold, I am going to gather two sticks, and I shall go in and dress it for myself and my children, and we shall eat it and die.

For thus says the Lord: The pitcher of meal shall not fail, and the jar of oil shall not diminish, until the day that the Lord gives rain upon the earth.

And the pitcher of meal failed not, and the jar of oil was not diminished, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by the hand of Elijah.

And his servant said, Why should I set this before a hundred men? And he said, Give to the people, and let them eat; for thus says the Lord: They shall eat and [have some] left over.

So they ate, and [had some] left over, according to the word of the Lord.

A just [man] eats and satisfies his soul, but the souls of the ungodly are in want.

Then I said, By no means, Lord God of Israel! Surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness, nor have I eaten that which has died of itself, or was torn by beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth.

And He said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in poverty, and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin;

You have sown much, but brought in little; you have eaten, and are not satisfied; you have drunk, and are not satisfied with drink, you have clothed yourselves, and have not become warm thereby: and he that earns wages has gathered [them] into a bag full of holes.

He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty.

So they all ate and were satisfied, and twelve baskets of the remaining fragments were taken up by them.

Philip answered Him, "Two hundred denarii [worth of] bread is not enough for them, that each of them might receive a little."

And Jesus took the loaves, and having given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those who were reclining; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wished.

So they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what they had left of the fragments, seven hampers full.

Now those who ate were four thousand men, apart from women and children.

But Jesus, knowing [about it], said to them, "O you of little faith, why are you reasoning among yourselves, because you did not take bread?

Nor the seven loaves of the four thousand and how many hampers you took [up]?

And one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant feared the Lord; and the creditor has come to take my two sons to be his servants.

And he said to her, Go, borrow for yourself vessels from of all your neighbors, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few.

And she departed from him, and shut the door upon herself and upon her sons. They brought the vessels near to her, and she poured in until the vessels were filled.

And she came and told the man of God. And Elisha said, Go, sell the oil, and you shall pay your debts, and you and your sons shall live from the remaining oil.

So they all ate and were filled.

Now those who had eaten the loaves were five thousand men.

So they ate and were filled, and they took up an abundance of fragments, seven hampers [full].

Now those having eaten were about four thousand. And He dismissed them.

And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, " because we have no bread."

Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember?

"And when [I broke] the seven for the four thousand, how many hampers full of fragments did you take up?" And they said, "Seven."

But when they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments, so that nothing may be lost."

Then those men, when they had seen the sign that Jesus did, said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."
