The feeding of the five thousand is one of the miracles recorded in all four gospels. It began with one simple act: a young boy who willingly gave up his lunch. In this passage, Jesus turned to Philip and asked where they could buy bread to feed the crowd. Philip answered, “It would take more than half a year’s wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite” (John 6:5). Elder Hock Chye highlighted three important lessons that we can learn and apply in our lives today.
