Elisha Multiplies Bread

⁴² A man from Baal Shalishah came to Elisha. He brought 20 loaves of barley bread from the first harvest to Elisha. He also brought fresh grain in his sack. Then Elisha said, “Give it to the people to eat.”

⁴³ Elisha’s servant said, “How can I feed 100 men with so little?”

But Elisha said, “Give the bread to the people to eat. This is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and will have food left over.’” ⁴⁴ Then he gave it to them. The people ate and had food left over, as the Lord had said.
