Genesis, Chapter 40. (The 'cupbearer' was a sort of butler)

There are two versions of the creation in Genesis.

Man and woman are created at the same time in Genesis 1:27

The second sequence (Genesis 2:7) describes how man, first, is created, and then the garden plants, animals, and finally Eve - from Adam’s rib.

Jesus miraculously increased the number of bread on hand not once, as is widely believed, but twice. The first event, known commonly as the "miracle of the loaves and fish," is reported in all four canonical Gospels. The second occurrence is only reported in the Gospels of Mark and Matthew.



The first occurrence of this miracle can be found in the following passages: Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-44; Luke 9:10-17; and John 6:5-15. All the passages mention the feeding of 5000 people. In all the accounts of it, the disciples gave Jesus five loaves of bread, and two fishes (the Gospel of John adds that this came from a small boy who happened to be in the crowd at the time), which He gave thanks for, and used to feed the multitude that He was teaching at the time. After the multitude had eaten, Jesus commanded the disciples to collect up the fragments so that nothing would be wasted. The disciples managed to collect a whopping total of twelve baskets full of fragments left over!



As stated above, the second occurrence of the miraculous event is only mentioned in the Gospels of Matthew and Mark. The accounts can be found in Matthew 15:32-39, and Mark 8:1-10. Both Gospels say that in this case, 4000 people were fed. The disciples gave Jesus seven loaves of bread, which he gave thanks for, broke, and distributed to the hungry multitude (there also some "small fishes" involved, but neither Gospel mentions how many). After the multitude had finished eating, the disciples once again gathered up the fragments, and this time, they managed to collect seven baskets full of fragments of broken bread.
