They were fascinated and amazed... In a crowd of thousands, they had seen Jesus multiply a few loaves and fishes, and provide enough food to satisfy the appetites of each one there - with food left over!

“Don’t waste your energy striving for perishable food like that. Work for the food that sticks with you, food that nourishes your lasting life, food the Son of Man provides. He and what he does are guaranteed by God the Father to last.”
