Helping Like Jesus

Jesus Fed the Hungry

Jesus breaking bread for his disciples

One day Jesus Christ taught a group of more than 5,000 people. When it got late, the disciples wanted to send the people home to eat. Jesus didn’t want them to leave. He wanted to feed them. But they only had five loaves of bread and two fishes.

Jesus blessed the food. Then the disciples passed it around. Everyone had enough to eat. It was a miracle!

You can read this story in Matthew 14:14–21.
