Matthew 14:13-21 When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. But the crowds followed him on foot. When Jesus saw them, he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
This miracle shows God's provision. As evening approached, the disciples urged Jesus to send the crowds away to buy food. Instead, Jesus took five loaves and two fish, gave thanks, broke them, and miraculously multiplied the food to feed over 5,000 men, plus women and children.
This miracle teaches that Jesus is the provider of both physical and spiritual nourishment. It also reminds us of God's ability to multiply even our smallest offerings.
