Matthew 14:22
20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
21 About five thousand men were fed, in addition to women and children.
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side, while He dismissed the crowds.
23 After He had sent them away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone,
24 but the boat was already far from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
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.
