When
Jesus heard of the death of John the Baptist, he withdrew in a boat to a
deserted place by himself. The crowds heard of this and followed him on foot
from their towns. When he disembarked and saw the vast crowd, his heart was
moved with pity for them, and he cured their sick. When it was evening, the
disciples approached him and said, “This is a deserted place and it is already
late; dismiss the crowds so that they can go to the villages and buy food for
themselves.” He said to them, “There is no need for them to go away; give them
some food yourselves.” But they said to him, “Five loaves and two fish are all
we have here.” Then he said, “Bring them here to me,” and he ordered the crowds
to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking
up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the
disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds. They all ate and were
satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over—twelve wicker baskets
full. Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and
children.

Dinhi, makita
nato na nahuyop an mga disciple kon uno’y ila ipakaon sa duro na mga tawo na
tagasunod ni Jesus kay kahuyom naman pagkatapos, halajo sanan sa ilang pa sila
na lugar.
An
suhestiyon nan mga disciple, bigawon rakan an mga tawo para maghanap sila nan
ila kaugalingon na panihapon, pero aja hinoon sila sugua ni Jesus na pakan’on
an mga tawo.
Dinhi na
seguro testingi ni Jesus an Ija mga disciple kon uno gajud ka hugot an ila
pagtuo sanan dinhi na Nija ipakita an Ija gahum na mo-interbenir para sa mga
tawo.
Inkuha ni
Jesus an gamay na ila nakuha na pagkaon, nagpasalamat sa heavenly Father, ‘katapos
tag-apud-apud sa mga tawo an pagkaon hangtud na nabusog an tanan sa ila gutom.
Dili
gajud nato malalim an generosity ni God sa tawo, an mga hinigugma Nija na mga
anak.
Uno ma’y
ato mahibayos sa Ija paghigugma dato?
