Philip and Andrew; Or, Disciples May Help One Another
John 6:1-21
After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.…


Philip says, "Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient," and Andrew says, "Well, no, it is not, but there is a lad here with five barley loaves and two small fishes." I like this brotherly consultation of willing minds. Philip is willing to begin if he has a grand start; he must see at least two hundred penny-worth of bread in hand, and then he is ready to entertain the idea. Andrew, on the other hand, is willing to commence with a small capital; a few loaves and fishes will enable him to start. When saints converse together they help each other, and, perhaps, what the one does not discover the other may.

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
