2 Kings 4:42-44
Proper 12B
42 A manA cameB from Baal-shalishah,C
bringingD foodE from the first fruitsF to the man of God:G twentyH loavesI of barleyJ
and fresh ears of grainK in his sack.L Elisha said, “GiveM it to the peopleN and let them eat.”O
43 But his servantP said, “How can I setQ this beforeR a hundred people?”S
So he repeated, “Give it to the peopleT and let them eat, for thus says the Lord,U ‘They shall eat and have some left.’”V 44 He set it beforeW them, they ate, and had some left, according to the wordX of the Lord.
