“Follow Me,” He told them, “and I will make you fish for people!”

Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

For as Jonah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of Man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a large net thrown into the sea. It collected every kind of fish,

and when it was full, they dragged it ashore, sat down, and gathered the good fish into containers, but threw out the worthless ones.

“But we only have five loaves and two fish here,” they said to Him.

Then He commanded the crowds to sit down on the grass. He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed them. He broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked them.

“Seven,” they said, “and a few small fish.”

He took the seven loaves and the fish, and He gave thanks, broke them, and kept on giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

“But, so we won’t offend them, go to the sea, cast in a fishhook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth you’ll find a coin. Take it and give it to them for Me and you.”
