Matthew 14:16

But Jesus said: "They need not go away, it is for you to give them something to eat."

"Let the man who has two coats," answered John, "share with him who has none; and the man who has food do the same."

Some thought that, as Judas kept the purse, Jesus meant that he was to buy some things needed for the Festival, or to give something to the poor.

How, tired though they were by many a trouble, their overflowing happiness, and even their deep poverty, resulted in a flood of generosity.

Let every one give as he has determined before hand, not grudgingly or under compulsion; for God loves 'a cheerful giver.'
