Luke 9:14

"But he said to them, “You give them something to eat.” They said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we should go and buy food for all these people.”"

Key Reflection

This exchange highlights the disciples' dependence on Jesus for miracles and their initial lack of faith in providing for such a large crowd. It sets up the dramatic scene where Jesus will perform a significant miracle, illustrating His ability to meet needs beyond human resources.
