Once
Jesus went off by Himself to a place far away from everyone
and everything. He wanted to spend some time alone, but
people found out where he was and followed him. There
were 5,000 men plus women and children in the crowd that
gathered. There were sick people who wanted to be
healed, people with all kinds of problems that they hoped
Jesus would help them solve, and some people who just wanted
to be close to Him.
Jesus healed
the sick and preached to the people who came. The
disciples came to Jesus and said that it was getting dark
and Jesus should send everyone home. Most of the
people were tired and very hungry. Jesus said he could not
send them away without feeding them first. The
disciples knew that it would cost a lot of money to buy food
for the thousands of people who were there. They didn't have
any money, and they just didn't see how all the people could
be fed.
Jesus asked
the crowd if anyone had any food they could share. A
young boy brought Jesus his basket. It held two fish
and five loaves of bread.
