Bible Verses:
The Miracle of 5 loaves and 2 fishes
Luke 9:10-17
When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus what they had done. Then he took them with him and they withdrew by themselves to a town called Bethsaida,
but the crowds learned about it and followed him. He welcomed them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.
Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, “Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here.”
He replied, “You give them something to eat.” They answered, “We have only five loaves of bread and two fish–unless we go and buy food for all this crowd.”
(About five thousand men were there.) But he said to his disciples, “Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each.”
The disciples did so, and everybody sat down.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples to set before the people.
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
My Remarks:
I once thought 5 loaves and 2 fishes was a miracle. However, I was reminded that it can physically be executed, especially in these days of shortage of masks.
If everyone is stocking masks in his own castle, then the masks is always in shortage. Hence, there’s some people have a lot in hands and some people don’t have any in hands. This kind of imbalance would soon break out into dispute and in worst war’s starting.
However, If everyone is keeping what’s needed and shared with each other for the excess, everyone would soon be satisfied and all will be saved.
And this is how 5 loaves and 2 fishes exactly worked. This is not a miracle any more. We all can do it.
I’m lucky that I’m living in a city where God’s words is executed.
