Feeding the Five Thousand: “Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, He gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied…” Matthew 14 19-20
“Feeding the Four Thousand: “Then He took the seven loaves and the fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to the people. They all ate and were satisfied.” Matthew 15: 36-37
As large crowds began to surface wherever Jesus went, they began to lay ill and crippled people at his feet and he would heal them. To further show His love and compassion in a miraculous way, on two occasions Jesus fed thousands of His admirers from simply a few loaves of bread and fish. (Matthew 14: 13-21; Matthew 15: 29-39)
