Matthew 14:18
16 “They do not need to go away,” Jesus replied. “You give them something to eat.”
17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
“Bring them here to Me,” Jesus said.
19 And He directed the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He spoke a blessing. Then He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
