so when Yeshua looked up and saw that a large crowd was approaching, he said to Philip, "Where will we be able to buy bread, so that these people can eat?"

Philip answered, "Half a year's wages wouldn't buy enough bread for them -- each one would get only a bite!"

One of the talmidim, Andrew the brother of Shim`on Kefa, said to him,
9
"There's a young fellow here who has five loaves of barley bread and two fish. But how far will they go among so many?"
10
Yeshua said, "Have the people sit down." There was a lot of grass there, so they sat down. The number of men was about five thousand.
11
Then Yeshua took the loaves of bread, and, after making a b'rakhah, gave to all who were sitting there, and likewise with the fish, as much as they wanted.
12
After they had eaten their fill, he told his talmidim, "Gather the leftover pieces, so that nothing gets wasted."
13
They gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten.

When the people saw the miracle he had performed, they said, "This has to be `the prophet' who is supposed to come into the world."

Yeshua knew that they were on the point of coming and seizing him, in order to make him king; so he went back to the hills again. This time he went by himself.
