Mark 6:37-39

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁷ ‘You should give them some food to eat,’ Jesus replied.

But the disciples said, ‘We cannot go to buy bread for all these people. A man must work for eight months to get the 200 coins that we would need for that.^[a] We cannot get enough food to give to these people.’

³⁸ Jesus asked them, ‘How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and see.’ When they had looked, they told Jesus, ‘We have five loaves and two fish.’

³⁹ Then Jesus told all the people to sit down on the green grass. He wanted them to sit in large groups.
