Testing the disciples:

Mark 6:35-38

35 And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:

36 Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.

37 He answered and said unto them,Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworthg of bread, and give them to eat?

38 He saith unto them,How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
