And all ate and were filled… – Mark 6:42 (NRSV)
The disciples were exhausted. They had nothing left—not even time to eat. (Mark 6:31) Yet, at Jesus’ command, they found themselves serving another crowd. With no energy and barely any food—just five loaves and two fish—they had nothing to offer 5,000 hungry people.
But Jesus multiplied both. He took their weakness and their small offering, blessed it, and made it more than enough.
In the end, everyone was full—the disciples and the crowd alike.
This is Mark’s message: God takes our little—even our nothing—and multiplies it until all are satisfied.
