152:2.5 [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]] had [[provided]] a three days' supply of [[food]] for [[Jesus]] and [[the twelve]], which was in the [[custody]] of the Mark lad, their boy of all chores. By afternoon of this, the third day for almost half of this multitude, the [[food]] the people had brought with them was nearly [[exhausted]]. [[David Zebedee]] had no [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_city tented city] here to feed and [[accommodate]] the crowds. Neither had [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]] made [[food]] [[provision]] for such a multitude. But [[the people]], even though they were [[hungry]], would not go away. It was being [[quietly]] whispered about that [[Jesus]], desiring to avoid [[trouble]] with both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod] and the [[Jerusalem]] [[leaders]], had [[chosen]] this [[quiet]] spot outside the [[jurisdiction]] of all his enemies as the proper place to be [[crown]]ed [[king]]. The [[enthusiasm]] of [[the people]] was rising every hour. Not a [[word]] was said to [[Jesus]], though, of course, he knew all that was going on. Even [[the twelve]] [[apostles]] were still tainted with such notions, and especially the younger [[evangelists]]. [[The apostles]] who [[favored]] this attempt to [[proclaim]] [[Jesus]] [[king]] were [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], [[John, the Apostle|John]], [[Simon Zelotes]], and [[Judas Iscariot]]. Those [[opposing]] the [[plan]] were [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], [[James, the Apostle|James]], [[Nathaniel]], and [[Thomas, the Apostle|Thomas]]. [[Matthew, the Apostle|Matthew]], [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], and the [[Alpheus twins]] were noncommittal. The ringleader of this [[Conspiracy|plot]] to make him [[king]] was Joab, one of the young [[evangelists]].

152:2.6 This was the [[stage]] setting about five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, when [[Jesus]] asked [[James Alpheus]] to summon [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]]. Said [[Jesus]]: " What shall we do with [[the multitude]]? They have been with us now [[three]] days, and many of them are [[hungry]]. They have no [[food]]. " [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]] and [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] exchanged glances, and then Philip answered: " Master, you should send these people away so that they may go to the villages around about and buy themselves [[food]]. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_6] And [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], fearing the [[materialization]] of the [[king]] plot, quickly joined with [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], saying: " Yes, Master, I [[think]] it best that you dismiss [[the multitude]] so that they may go their way and buy [[food]] while you [[secure]] [[rest]] for a [[season]]. " By this time others of [[the twelve]] had joined the [[conference]]. Then said [[Jesus]]: " But I do not [[desire]] to send them away [[hungry]]; can you not feed them? " This was too much for [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], and he [[spoke]] right up: " Master, in this [[Rural|country]] place where can we buy bread for this multitude? Two hundred [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denarii denarii] worth would not be enough for lunch. "

152:2.7 Before [[the apostles]] had an [[opportunity]] to [[express]] themselves, [[Jesus]] turned to [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], saying: " I do not want to send these people away. Here they are, like sheep without a shepherd. I would like to feed them. What [[food]] have we with us? " While [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]] was conversing with [[Matthew, the Apostle|Matthew]] and [[James and Judas, the Apostles|Judas]], [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] sought out the Mark lad to ascertain how much was left of their store of [[provisions]]. He returned to [[Jesus]], saying: " The lad has left only five barley loaves and two dried fishes "—and [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] promptly added, " We have yet to eat this evening.

152:2.8 For a [[moment]] [[Jesus]] stood in [[silence]]. There was a faraway look in his eyes. [[The apostles]] said nothing. [[Jesus]] turned suddenly to [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and said, " Bring me the loaves and fishes. " And when [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] had brought the basket to [[Jesus]], [[the Master]] said: " Direct [[the people]] to sit down on the grass in companies of one hundred and appoint a [[leader]] over each [[group]] while you bring all of the [[evangelists]] here with us.

152:2.9 [[Jesus]] took up the loaves in his hands, and after he had given [[thanks]], he broke the bread and gave to his [[apostles]], who passed it on to their [[associates]], who in turn carried it to [[the multitude]]. [[Jesus]] in like [[manner]] broke and [[distributed]] the fishes. And this multitude did eat and were filled. And when they had finished eating, [[Jesus]] said to the [[disciples]]: " Gather up the broken pieces that remain over so that nothing will be lost. " And when they had finished gathering up the [[Parts|fragments]], they had twelve basketfuls. They who ate of this [[extraordinary]] feast numbered about five thousand [[men]], [[women]], and [[children]].

152:2.10 And this is the first and only [[nature]] [[miracle]] which [[Jesus]] [[performed]] as a result of his [[conscious]] pre[[plan]]ning. It is true that his [[disciples]] were disposed to call many things [[miracles]] which were not, but this was a [[genuine]] [[supernatural]] ministration. In this case, so we were taught, [[Michael]] multiplied food elements as he always does except for the elimination of the [[time]] [[factor]] and the visible life [[channel]].
