Andrew, wanting to be helpful, came up with
a suggestion. "There is a lad here, which hath
five barley loaves, and two small fishes; but
what are they among so many?" (verse 9)
Somewhere in the crowd he had found a little
boy that wanted to see and hear Jesus so much
that he had come long with the adults. But he
had brought a lunch with him. He could have
eaten it himself but offered to share it with
Andrew. By doing that, it was brought to Jesus'
attention.
This caused the little boy to be known to the
world forever.
