Matthew 15:32-35
32 Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”
33 His disciples answered, “Where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?”
34 “How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked.
“Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
35 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. 36Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people.
Apparently the disciples haven’t been reading along with Matthew, because if they did, they’d remember that two chapters ago Jesus fed 5000+ people with a few loaves of bread and some fish. Now they’re back on the mountainside with a crowd of people, and Jesus prompts them with the passive-sounding line: “Boy, these people sure have been here a long time. I don’t want to send them away hungry.” And the disciples… drop the ball. They look at each other, scratch their heads, and say, “Where could we get enough bread to feed such a crowd?”
I dunno… where’d the bread come from the last time you were in this situation?
