The Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 14: 14-23 Miracle – Multiplying Bread and Fish 1
Jesus, knowing his followers are hungry, feeds 5,000 Men, Women, and Children by multiplying 5 Loafs of Bread and 2 Fish. There remained 12 baskets full.
14: And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.
15: And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.
16: But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.
17: And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.
18: He said, Bring them hither to me.
19: And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
20: And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.
21: And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children. the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.
22: And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23: And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

Anne Terri's Note: Matthew 15:32-39 is the second account of Jesus' Miracle of – Multiplying Bread and Fish.This shows his compassion for his followers. Here the count of loafs is 7 and the fish as a few little ones. This time, they fed 4,000 Men, Women and Children. What was left was seven baskets full.

9: And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
Anne Terri's Notes: When you follow along in Mark you see nearly a matched set of chapters to Matthew. They are not exactly in the same order, but it is food for thought. Many ask which one is Q, or the main Gospel from which the others copied. This is difficult to tell, but using logic, and the order in which the Disciples were chosen, at this time, I believe it is Mark.
In Mark 8: 1-13, the Pharisees want a sign from Heaven. In Matthew 16:1-4, it is also documented, but slightly different. The dialog written, as spoken by Jesus is longer in Matthew, and he speaks of the prophet Jonas. After Matthew is chosen, then perhaps his work is more his own.
The Gospel of Luke
Luke 9: 10 -17 The Miracle Of Multiplying The Fish – Five Loafs and Two Fishes
10: And the apostles, when they were returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11: And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.
12: And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.
13: But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
14: For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15: And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16: Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17: And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.
The Gospel of John
John 6: 5-15 Miracle of Jesus multiplying five barley Loaves and two small fishes to feed about five thousand
5: When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
6: And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
7: Philip answered him, Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take a little.
8: One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him,
9: There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10: And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11: And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12: When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13: Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14: Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.
15: When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
