I guess maybe it's that God is almighty and all powerful, and we should always have faith in Him. His love comes in abundance, and whatever we need we shall receive from Jesus Christ our Lord.

Jesus and the diciples had been informed of John the Baptist's death. They came by boat to the isolated village of Bethsaida where Jesus could pray in solitude. But He was very popular and He drew a crowd of 5,000 (some sources say 4,000) people. The disciples wanted Jesus to send them away because they couldn't feed them. Jesus took five loaves of barley bread and two small fish and fed the masses. There were seven baskets left over after all had eaten.

(Mark 6:41) And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.

The normal interpretation of the feeding of the 5000, first reported in Mark 6:41, and the similar feeding of 4000, first reported in Mark 8:7, is that Jesus was somehow able to multiply the loaves and fishes, so that there was enough to satisfy everyone.

Denis R MacDonald, who has detected numerous parallels between the gospels and Homer, provides an alternative explanation in which these stories are symbolic parallels rather than real events. In the gospel, Jesus and his disciples sailed and disembarked where they found a crowd of 5000 males; this parallels the Iliad, where Telemachus and Athena sailed and disembarked where they found a crowd of 4500 males. Jesus ordered them to sit in groups of 100's and 50's. Mark used the words for "drinking group by drinking group" (KJV "company") to describe the groupings. This regimentation of the crowd and even the detailed reporting of it, would be hard to explain unless Mark was including a detail that was meaningful in an apparently unrelated story such as Homer's. And indeed Homer's crowd sat in 9 groups of 500 each. Homer used the word "symposia" (a special type of Greek drinking gathering for men) to describe the groupings. Both feasts were sacred meals: Jesus gave thanks to God and took the loaves and fish and divided them; Nestor sacrificed while others prayed and they all took the meat and divided the food.

The story you're thinking of is recorded in

= (Mark 6:30-44) = and Jesus only has 2 fish to go with the 5 loaves. Hope that helps.

Jesus was God come to earth as a man. God created the heavens and the earth so as creator Jesus was more than able to perform a miracle with loaves and fishes.

How big were the loaves in Mark chapter 6?

The Bible doesn't describe the size of the loaves of bread in Mark 6:38-43. What is significant is not the size of the loaves, but the amount of them. If Jesus was able to break up five loaves into enough pieces to feed 5,000 men (Mark 6:44), it was indeed a miracle!


What did Jesus turn five loaves of bread and two fish into?

The Bible is silent on the identify of the type of fish. It should be noted that the sign of the Fish- Icthys in Greek was an early Christian symbol. The miracle, as the bible relates actually occured and the food resources were multiplied. On the other hand the (Good Samaritan) was an allegorical parable, and he was not a real person, Jesus does not reveal him by name. He was not one of the twelve apostles, that is obvious. The Good Samaritan is fiction-in-truth,. or truth in fiction. On the oither hand the food-multiplying feat was real.
