John 6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come

6 And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

B. IT WOULD TAKE A FORTUNE TO FEED THESE PEOPLE.

John 6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient

for them, that every one of them may take a little.

C. There are 5,000 MEN!

LET US SAY 5,000 WOMEN, BUT YOU KNOW IN ANY RELIGIOUS CROWD

but what are they among so many?
