Another of His disciples, Andrew, spoke up, ‘Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?’ <br/>Jesus said, ‘Tell the people to sit down.’ It was a very grassy place. There were about 5,000 men who sat down, plus women and children there. Then Jesus took the loaves of bread. He thanked God for the bread and gave it to the people who were sitting there. He did the same with the fish. He gave them as much as they wanted. – Slide 2
