Confronted with a vast crowd that had followed Him for days, Jesus took pity on their hunger. With just five loaves and two fish offered by a young boy, He gave thanks and broke the food. Miraculously, the meal was multiplied to feed over 5000 men, with baskets of leftovers collected afterward.
This miracle not only satisfied physical hunger but also pointed to the spiritual nourishment available through Christ.
