John 6:8-9

John 6:5-9 (NLT)

⁵Jesus soon saw a great crowd of people climbing the hill, looking for him.  Turning to Philip, he asked, “Philip, where can we buy some bread to feed all these people?” ⁶He was testing Philip, for he already knew what he was going to do.

            ⁷Philip replied, “It would take a small fortune to feed them!?

            ⁸Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up. ⁹“There’s a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish.  But what good is that with this huge crowd?”

Notes within my bible:

6:8-9  

"The disciples are contrasted with the youngster who brought what he had.  They certainly had more resources than he did, but they knew they didn't have enough, so they didn't give anything at all.  They youngster gave what little he had and it made all the difference.  If we offer nothing to God, he will have nothing to use.  But he can take what little we have and turn it into something great."
