The feeding of the five thousand

With five loaves and two fish Jesus fed about five thousand men, the only sign before the passion recorded by all four Gospels; the crowds said, This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world (John 6:14).

📖 John 6:1–3

1After this, Jesus crossed to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias). 2A large crowd followed Him because they saw the signs He was performing on the sick. 3Then Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down with His disciples.
