2 Kings 4:42-44

Christian Standard Bible

The Multiplied Bread

⁴² A man from Baal-shalishah^(A) came to the man of God with his sack full of^[a] twenty loaves of barley bread from the first bread of the harvest. Elisha said, “Give it to the people to eat.”^(B)

⁴³ But Elisha’s attendant asked, “What? Am I to set this before a hundred men?” ^(C)

“Give it to the people to eat,” Elisha said, “for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat, and they will have some left over.’” ⁴⁴ So he set it before them, and as the Lord had promised, they ate and had some left over.^(D)
