Other than the resurrection, Jesus’ feeding of the five thousand is the only miracle recorded in all four gospels. It is likely that only Matthew and John were there to see it.
Matthew says Jesus retired to a solitary place by boat after hearing of the death of John the Baptist. The crowd watched him and followed on foot. When he landed he saw the great crowd, had compassion and healed their sick. As evening approached, the disciples asked Jesus to send the crowd away so they could buy food in the villages of the area.; instead, Jesus told the disciples not to send them away, but to give them something to eat. They said they had only five loaves of bread and two fish. Jesus blessed those and gave them to the disciples, who gave them to the people.
