Mateus 14

15 Now with evening coming on His disciples approached Him saying: "The place is uninhabited and the hour is already late. Dismiss the crowds, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food." 16 But Jesus said to them: "They do not need to go away. You give them to eat."*Really now, with what? Although Jesus had to take the initiative, the disciples did participate in the miracle. 17 But they say to Him, "We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish." 18 So He said, "Bring them here to me." 19 Then He commanded the crowds to recline on the grass. And taking the five loaves and two fish and looking up to heaven, He blessed; and breaking the loaves He gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds. 20 So they all ate and were filled; and they took up the fragments that remained, twelve baskets full. 21 Now those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.*Since any large crowd is likely to have more women and children than men, there were probably at least 15,000 people there. "They were filled"—how much food does it take to ‘fill’ 15,000 hungry people? Notice the care not to waste anything—the fragments were collected.
