The Word
2 Kings 4:42-44
…A man came from Baal-shalishah bring-ing to Elisha, the man of God, twenty barley loaves made from the firstfruits, and fresh grain in the ear. Elisha said, “Give it to the people to eat.” But his servant objected, “How can I set this before a hundred people?” Eli-sha insisted, “Give it to the people to eat. For thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and there shall be some left over.’” And when they had eaten, there was some left over, as the Lord had said.
Ephesians 4:1-6
Brothers and sisters: I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace: one body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
John 6:1-15
Jesus went across the Sea of Galilee. A large crowd fol-lowed him … “Where can we buy enough food for them to eat?”… Andrew ... said to him, “There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish; but what good are these for so many?” …. When they had had their fill, he said to his disciples, “Gather the frag-ments left over….” So they collected them, and filled twelve wicker baskets with frag-ments from the five barley loaves …. When the people saw the sign he had done, they said, “This is truly the Prophet, the one who is to come into the world.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
