<p>14:18&nbsp;<em>And he said: Bring them here to me-</em>&nbsp;The word &quot;here&quot; would appear to be redundant in terms of the meaning if the Lord simply meant 'OK, give them to Me'. He wanted to focus the disciples upon the need for His personal presence and involvement with whatever we are willing to give Him. The loaves and fishes had to be brought&nbsp;<em>here</em>, to Him, and the miracle would proceed only once they were in His hands.</p>
