Neville Goddard on Luke 9:13-17 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read Luke 9 in context

Scripture Focus

13But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.

14For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.

15And they did so, and made them all sit down.

16Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.

17And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

Luke 9:13-17

Biblical Context

Jesus directs the crowd to be fed, and five loaves and two fish are blessed, broken, and shared until all are satisfied; leftovers demonstrate abundance.

Neville's Inner Vision

In Luke 9:13-17, the crowd represents states of your own mind. The five loaves and two fish are inner resources—faith, patience, love, and imagination—that you can transform into nourishment. The disciples’ concern about lack mirrors your habitual thought of scarcity, while the command to seat them in orderly groups shows how your mind can organize ideas into workable patterns. When Jesus blesses and breaks the loaves, this is your I AM declaring the worth of your inner substance; giving it to the disciples mirrors your decision to circulate your supply through your life. The feeding and the twelve baskets left over symbolize abundance moving from inward constancy to outward form, with the overflow remaining as you continue to live from a perfected consciousness. The numbers carry meaning, but the practical point is clear: align thought with sufficiency, pronounce the blessing, and release your image into activity until need is met in fullness.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I feed the world from the abundance of my I AM.' Visualize the five loaves and two fish multiplying and nourishing every person before you, then feel the surplus filling your life.
