Mark 6:35-38

    By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late. Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."

    But he answered, "You give them something to eat."

    They said to him, "That would take more than half a year's wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?"

    "How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see."

    When they found out, they said, "Five--and two fish."

    As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a remote place, and it is already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food."

    Jesus replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."

    "We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish," they answered.

    "Bring them here to me," He said.

    They answered, "We have only five loaves of bread and two fish--unless we go and buy food for all this crowd."

    When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for all these people to eat?" He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do.

    Philip answered him, "It would take more than half a year's wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!"
