Mark 6:36-38

New International Reader's Version

³⁶ Send the people away. Then they can go to the nearby countryside and villages to buy something to eat.”

³⁷ But Jesus answered, “You give them something to eat.”

They said to him, “That would take more than half a year’s pay! Should we go and spend that much on bread? Are we supposed to feed them?”

³⁸ “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked. “Go and see.”

When they found out, they said, “Five loaves and two fish.”
