Mark 8:1-4. In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: and if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness.
Why did they not ask their Master what he could do in such an emergency as that" After so much experience of his power as they had already had, it is wonderful that they did not refer the matter to him, and say, "Lord, thou canst feed the multitude; we beseech thee do it." But they did not act so wisely; instead, they began questioning about ways and means. "From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?"
