The Loaves and the Fish
Matthew 14:15-21; 15:32-39; Mark 6:35-44; 8:1-10; Luke 9:12-17; John 6:5-13
According to Matthew and Mark Jesus performs a miracle of this kind twice, the crowd being 5000 men at one occasion and 4000 at the other. Due to the similarity of the miracles, it is often impossible to decide which of the incidents the artwork represents. Hence, all the pictures depicting these miracles sort under the same heading.
