What do you like to eat when you are really hungry? Listen to find out the way Jesus showed
love to many hungry people.
Jesus sat down to rest on a hillside one day. A big crowd of people—lots and lots and
lots of people—came to see Him. The people wanted to hear Jesus talk about God.
They listened to Jesus until supper time. Jesus knew these people were hungry.
“Where can we buy food for all these people?” Jesus said to His friends.
“We don’t have enough money to buy food for all these people!” one of Jesus’ friends
said.
Just then another friend said, “Here is a boy who has five little loaves of bread and
two fish.”
“But that’s not enough food for all these people,” another friend may have said.
Jesus picked up the little boy’s lunch. He thanked God. He began to break the bread
and fish into pieces. And the most surprising thing happened! Soon there were hundreds and hundreds of pieces of bread and fish! There was enough bread and fish to
give to all those hungry people. Every person had plenty to eat.
When everybody had finished eating, Jesus’ friends gathered up 12 baskets of
leftover bread and fish. Jesus had made enough food out of that little boy’s lunch to
feed all those people—and still have lots of food left over! What a wonderful way for
Jesus to show His love to people!
