The Bible account of the miraculous feeding of over 5,000 is found at Matthew 14:14-21. "When he came ashore, he saw a large crowd, and he felt pity for them, and he cured their sick ones. But when evening fell, his disciples came to him and said: 'The place is isolated and the hour is already late; send the crowds away, so that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.' However, Jesus said to them: 'They do not have to leave; you give them something to eat.' They (disciples) said to him: 'We have nothing here except five loaves and two fish.' He said: 'Bring them here to me.' And he instructed the crowds to recline on the grass. Then he (Jesus) took the five loaves and two fish, and looked up to the heaven, he said a blessing and after breaking the loaves, he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. So they all ate and were satisfied, and they took up the leftover fragments, 12 baskets full. Now those eating were about 5,000 men, as well as women and young children."

What was a astonishing miracle that Jesus perfromed?

Jesus performed MANY miracles...he caused the blind to see, the lame to walk. My personal favorite is John 6:5-15--the fishes and the loaves. Jesus fed 5,000 + people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish! The Koran (Surahs 3 and 5) and some of the books not in the present Christian Bible says that Jesus (Isa) made a clay bird and then brought it to life. The Koran also states that (Sura 19:33) the baby Jesus spoke in the crib. This may however be a carryover from the Buddhist tradition that the Buddha as a child spoke shortly after birth.
