马太福音第十四章耶稣行了五饼二鱼的神迹。四个福音书都记录了这个神迹。递饼的次序很有意思:耶稣劈饼,递给门徒,门徒再递给众人。在这个神迹里耶稣利用五个饼两条鱼喂饱了男众约有五千人,男女和孩子们都吃饱了,且有剩余。五个饼两条鱼在耶稣的手里一直一块块的掰下来给众人吃,直到所有人都吃饱,多么伟大的神迹。在约翰福音里,耶稣说他是天上降下来的粮。因此,让我们祷告每天吃耶稣的粮,吃饱且有余,并有施舍。耶稣的粮,取之不尽,用之不竭,他的粮给我们无尽的平安喜乐与永生!
太14:15 天将晚的时候、门徒进前来说、这是野地、时候已经过了.请叫众人散开、他们好往村子里去、自己买吃的。
When evening had come, his disciples came to him, saying, "This place is deserted, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food."
太14:16 耶稣说、不用他们去、你们给他们吃吧。
But Jesus said to them, "They don't need to go away. You give them something to eat."
太14:17 门徒说、我们这里只有五个饼、两条鱼。
They told him, "We only have here five loaves and two fish."
太14:18 耶稣说、拿过来给我。
He said, "Bring them here to me."
太14:19 于是吩咐众人坐在草地上.就拿着这五个饼、两条鱼、望着天、祝福、擘开饼、递给门徒.门徒又递给众人。
He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples gave to the multitudes.
太14:20 他们都吃、并且吃饱了.把剩下的零碎收拾起来、装满了十二个篮子。
They all ate, and were filled. They took up twelve baskets full of that which remained left over from the broken pieces.
太14:21 吃的人除了妇女孩子、约有五千。
Those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
