Jesus told the disciples, "You give them something to eat" and they answered Him, "We have here only five loaves and two fishes". Probably some of the 12 disciples had a small amount of food with them, but not enough to feed 5000 plus people. Jesus takes the five loaves and two fishes and blesses them and then by a miracle multiplies the food into enough to feed the people with some left over. It was a miracle. You can find this story in Matthew 14: 13-21.

Why did the people not bring food when they followed Jesus?

There are only two important instances in the gospel story, in which the people did not bring food, and these provided opportunities for Jesus to demonstrate his miraculous powers over nature. Not only was Jesus able to demonstrate his ability to feed the 5000 and then the 4000, but these events form a tightly integrated narrative with other related events and narratives in Mark's Gospel, where they were first reported.Mark 6:33-8:21 has ten references or allusions to food, including a summary by Jesus of the two feasts in 8:19-21, maintaining a consistent theme of food, plus a minor theme of not understanding:Jesus and the disciples had no leisure so much as to eat , so they went into a desert placeFeeding the 5000When Jesus walked on water the disciples were amazed, for they considered not the miracle of the loavesPharisees complain about the disciples eating with unwashed handsDiscourse - what goes into a man goes into his belly and does not defileGreek woman metaphorically begs for crumbs from the tableFeeding the 4000Disciples are hungry and have only one loaf of breadJesus warns the disciples about the leaven of the Pharisees and they reason, "It is because we have no bread," showing they do not understandSummary by Jesus of the two feasts (Mark 8:21). By this stage, the reader is asking, "Why don't they understand?"Mark's Gospel is based around a sophisticated framework structure with an opening set of events mirroring a closing set of events, thereby adding emphasis or developing themes that would not otherwise be apparent. The references and allusions to food in Mark 6:33-8:21 are mirrored in Mark's Gospel by the Last Supper. From a literary perspective, it was important for the people not to bring food on the two occasions when Jesus fed thousands, just as it was important for the disciples not to bring food soon afterwards.

Three stories from the galilean ministry of Jesus?

Jesus calms the storm: Jesus and his disciples were on a boat when a fierce storm arose. Jesus rebuked the winds and the waves, calming the sea. This display of power showed the disciples Jesus's authority over nature. Feeding of the 5,000: Jesus miraculously fed a large crowd of 5,000 with just five loaves of bread and two fish. This event demonstrated Jesus's compassion for the hungry and his ability to provide abundantly even in times of scarcity. Walking on water: Jesus walked on water to meet his disciples who were in a boat struggling against the waves. Peter also briefly walked on water towards Jesus before losing faith and sinking. This miracle reinforced Jesus's divine nature and the importance of faith in following Him.
