9:13 But he said to them, “You ⁶  give them something to eat.” They ⁷  replied, ⁸  “We have no more than five loaves and two fish – unless ⁹  we go ¹⁰  and buy food ¹¹  for all these people.”

⁴ sn What you have seen and heard. The following activities all paraphrase various OT descriptions of the time of promised salvation: Isa 35:5-6; 26:19; 29:18-19; 61:1.
