14:18-21
Jesus then gave them instructions on what they were to do. The miracle was carried out in a very orderly and quiet way. There was no big announcement to the crowd that a miracle was about to take place! So the people were organised into groups. Jesus gave thanks for what they had. This is something that we need to do. We so often focus on our lack, whether it be a material lack, or a lack of ability. We should give thanks for what we do have. The food was then distributed among the people. Everyone was fed, and twelve baskets of leftovers were gathered up. There were five thousand men plus women and children. In Jewish culture, men were not allowed to eat together with women and children in a public place.
