Matthew 14: 13-21; Mark 6: 30-44;

Luke 9:10-17; John 6:1-15

 Many people were following Jesus and his
disciples.

Jesus decided to bring their boat ashore so he

could speak to the people.
Around 5000 people had come to see Jesus.

Although he was tired, Jesus started to bless

and heal many people.
 As time went on
Jesus’ disciples
thought the people
might be getting
hungry.

But Jesus had

a plan!
Jesus asked the crowd if anyone had any food to
share.
 A young boy
stepped forward
and gave Jesus a
basket.

He had five loaves

of bread and two
small fish.
 The disciples did not think that such a small
amount of food would be able to feed the people.

Jesus was not worried. He asked the people to

sit down. Then Jesus took the bread and gave
thanks to God.
 The disciples passed the bread and fish to
everyone in the crowd. To everyone’s surprise
there were twelve baskets of food left over.
