Did Jesus really say don't feed those who have nothing to eat?

Feed the Need 2010

Jesus said to have compassion and feed those who have nothing to eat (Mark 8:1-3). The people who came to him for teaching and hope were not those who were chronically hungry. These were families who came out and got hungry while hearing Jesus teach.  It was a meal.  That's what Feed the Need is all about--offering a meal in the name of Jesus with God's love empowered by the Holy Spirit!

Harry Nilsson
