Jesus broke the bread and dried fish into pieces ... to distribute to the thousands. For a long time He passed food to the apostles, yet food remained in the basket. The 12 disciples completed ministering in their appointed villages and returned to Capernaum. They were actually more than disciples or learners now. They were apostles. They had been sent forth with the authority of the one who sent them - Jesus - and they had used that authority (Mark 6:30, Luke 9:10). One evening two disciples of John the Baptist came and asked to see Jesus, who greeted them warmly. "Do you have news of John?" He asked. "Yes, sir, we have news. Bad news." The man stopped and shook his head in an expression of sorrow. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
