FEEDING THE MULTITUDES.

Jesus had chosen twelve out of the many who flocked about Him wishing tobe His disciples, and these twelve were called apostles. He sent themforth to preach the gospel, giving them power to cast out evil spiritsand to heal diseases; and when they were about to go forth upon theirmission, He gave them instructions regarding what they were to do, andwarned them of the persecutions which would be heaped upon them. He alsobade them be strong and not fear those who had power to kill the bodyonly, because the soul was far more precious. So the apostles went outinto the cities and towns and preached the word of God and carriedblessing with them.

When they came back they told Jesus what they had done, and they wentwith Him across the sea of Galilee to a quiet spot where they could restand talk over their work.

But the people went around the sea, or lake, to join them on the otherside; and when Jesus saw the crowds He was sorry for them, and taughtand healed them again as He had done so many times.

In the evening His disciples urged Him to send the people away that theymight buy food for themselves in the village; but Jesus said, "Give yethem to eat."

The disciples thought this would be impossible. "We have here but fiveloaves and two fishes," they told Him; and when He said, "Bring themhither to Me," they obeyed Him with wonder.

Then Jesus commanded the people to sit down in groups upon the greengrass; and He took the loaves and gave thanks to God for them, and brokethem into pieces, handing them to His disciples to give to the people.

He divided the fishes also in the same way, and the disciples went aboutamong the groups giving each person a share, and everyone had enough toeat; for although there were about five thousand men there, besideswomen and children, the food was sufficient for all. Even more thanthis, when the multitude had eaten all that they wanted, the disciplesgathered up twelve baskets full of the broken pieces.
