Feeding 4000

Near the Sea of Galilee crowds of people followed Jesus up on the mountainside. They brought people who were sick, who were blind, and people who couldn't talk, and laid them at Jesus' feet. He healed them. Then, instead of sending them away hungry, he distributed seven loaves of bread and a few fish to the whole crowd. They all ate as much as they wanted, and afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of leftovers. When Jesus did something, he did it because of his faith in the Father. He knew God wanted to heal people and feed people. But he told his disciples to watch out for people who were just pretending.
