You'll not find this quotation in The Bible because the phrase "Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day; teach him how to fish, and he'll eat for a lifetime." did not come from an ancient Chinese proverb, the Torah, the Bible, or any other such place. It was coined by Anne Isabella Ritchie, the daughter of William Makepeace Thackeray in 1885 .

The saying "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" is not from any specific chapter in a book; it is a proverbial expression that emphasizes the importance of teaching skills for self-sufficiency and long-term success.

Not sure what book you are referring to. I you are hoping it was in the Bible, it is not. The originator of the quote is unknown, but many people take credit for it.

Who said give a man a fish you feed him for a day teach a man to fish you feed him for life?

Lao Tzu, the Chinese founder of Taoism, 4th Century BCThis is a Chinese Proverb. "If you give a man a fish you feed him for a day. If you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime." It is better to teach someone how to do something than to do it for them. Giving someone a fish is good for the short term, but it is better to teach them how to do it so that in the long term they can take care of themselves. For example, a mother could cook for her children, but if she never teaches them to cook, they will always be dependent on her for meals. If she teaches them how to cook they will be able to take care of themselves in the long term.The quotation gained popularity in in 1963 after being used in the Christian Science Monitor that year. An old native American proverb had basically the same wording. An old English proverb also appears to have had almost the same wording. Sometimes the phrase is credited to Kuan Tzu, a Chinese Taoist philosophical text from about 2,700 years ago.
