📖 Scripture Connection

Matthew 14:17-20

“They told him, 'We only have here five loaves and two fish.' He said, 'Bring them here to me.' He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass; and he took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.”

— Matthew 14:17-20 (WEB)

Just as Jesus divided the loaves and fishes fairly among the people, division helps us share things equally
