2 Kings 4:42-44

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Elisha Feeds One Hundred Men

⁴² A man came from Ba′al-shal′ishah, bringing the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Eli′sha said, “Give to the men, that they may eat.” ⁴³ But his servant said, “How am I to set this before a hundred men?” So he repeated, “Give them to the men, that they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’” ⁴⁴ So he set it before them. And they ate, and had some left, according to the word of the Lord.
