Then Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up.
“There’s a young boy here with five barley loaves and two fish.
But what good is that with this huge crowd?”

“Tell everyone to sit down,” JESUS said.
So they all sat down on the grassy slopes.
(The men alone numbered about 5,000.)
Then JESUS took the loaves, gave thanks to God,
and distributed them to the people.
Afterward he did the same with the fish.
And they all ate as much as they wanted.

for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. 
HE IS NOT HERE, FOR HE HAS RISEN, JUST AS HE SAID.
Come, see the place where He was lying. 
Go quickly and tell His disciples that HE HAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD;
and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee,
there you will see Him; behold, I have told you.”

The Cross

Posted by

Surely our griefs HE HIMSELF BORE,
and our sorrows HE CARRIED;
yet we ourselves esteemed HIM STRICKEN,
SMITTEN of God, and AFFLICTED.
But HE WAS PIERCED THROUGH for our transgressions,
HE WAS CRUSHED for our iniquities;
the CHASTENING for our well-being FELL UPON HIM,
and by HIS SCOURGING we are healed.
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way; but
THE LORD HAS CAUSED THE INIQUITY OF US ALL
TO FALL ON HIM.

Isaiah 53:4-6 NASB95
