2 Kings 4:42-44

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Multiplied Bread

⁴² A man from Baal-shalishah^(A) came to the man of God with his sack full of 20 loaves of barley bread from the first bread of the harvest. Elisha said, “Give it to the people to eat.”^(B)

⁴³ But Elisha’s attendant asked, “What? Am I to set 20 loaves before 100 men?”^(C)

“Give it to the people to eat,” Elisha said, “for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat, and they will have some left over.’” ⁴⁴ So he gave it to them, and as the Lord had promised, they ate and had some left over.^(D)
