The Feeding of the 5,000 is also known as the ''miracle of the five loaves and two fish'; the Gospel of John reports that Jesus used five loaves and two fish supplied by a boy to feed a multitude. According to Matthew's gospel, when Jesus heard that John the Baptist had been killed, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Luke specifies that the place was near Bethsaida. The crowds followed Jesus on foot from the towns. When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, 'This is a remote place, it's already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.'_x0013_THEODOR POULAKIS 1622 Kreta - 1692 (zugeschrieben) BEDEUTENDE IKONE MIT DER WUNDERSAMEN BROTVERMEHRUNG Griechenland, Kreta, datiert 1680 Holztafel mit zwei aufgenagelten Rückseiten-Sponki.
