with you. Moses asked God what to answer if the people ask him who God is.

much so that Pharaoh will actually let the people go. God encouraged Moses and told him togo again to Pharaoh and tell him to let the Israelites go.

multitudes came to him to hear the word of God and get healed. The third day He felt

compassion on the people and He called his disciples and said to them that they needed to be fed.

understand the mind of Jesus, so they answered and said that this is the wilderness, how are we

going to get food in the wilderness to feed this huge crowd?

on the ground, and then took the bread and fish and blessed it and broke it in pieces. Then he

asked the disciples to serve everyone. They fed around 4,000 people and there was still some

food left over.
