The Bible is silent on the identify of the type of fish. It should be noted that the sign of the Fish- Icthys in Greek was an early Christian symbol. The miracle, as the bible relates actually occured and the food resources were multiplied. On the other hand the (Good Samaritan) was an allegorical parable, and he was not a real person, Jesus does not reveal him by name. He was not one of the twelve apostles, that is obvious. The Good Samaritan is fiction-in-truth,. or truth in fiction. On the oither hand the food-multiplying feat was real.
The boy offered Jesus five loaves of bread and two fish for lunch. Jesus used this small meal to perform a miracle, feeding thousands of people in the crowd.
The Bible doesn't describe the size of the loaves of bread in Mark 6:38-43. What is significant is not the size of the loaves, but the amount of them. If Jesus was able to break up five loaves into enough pieces to feed 5,000 men (Mark 6:44), it was indeed a miracle!
Jesus fed a crowd of 5,000 men, and possibly more when accounting for women and children, with five loaves of bread and two fish. This miracle is recorded in the Bible in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
The 12 baskets used to collect the left-over pieces of bread after Jesus fed the 5000 were likely around the size of a hand-held basket, typically used for carrying food or other items. The specific size is not mentioned in the Bible.
According to Mark Jesus fed 5000 men. According to Matthew, Jesus fed 5000 men plus women and children. In other words, Matthew had a little more detail than Mark. Perhaps this lines up with his background. He was used to counting everything and everybody. Mark was also a briefer Gospel and he left a few incidentals out.
Two fish and five loaves of bread fed 5000.
The bread was barley loaves, and the type of fish is unknown. It is likely to have been the sardine or the musht fish found in the nearby waters.
The boy offered Jesus five loaves of bread and two fish for lunch. Jesus used this small meal to perform a miracle, feeding thousands of people in the crowd.
back in the bible it talks about Jesus feeds a multitude of people on two fish and five loaves of barley bread. How big was a loaf of barley bread?
The famous incident is the feeding of the five thousand. A crowd of five thousand people had gathered to listen to Jesus preaching, but they didn't bring any lunch (pretty stupid, huh?). Some kid did bring lunch with him; five loaves of bread (not like Hovis sliced white bread or something; probably about the size of a fist) and three fish. Jesus blessed the food, and it was multiplied. The fishes and loaves fed five thousand people: a miracle.
When Andrew found the little boy with five barley loaves and there were exactly two small fish.
Matthew 14:14-22 describes the miracle where Jesus fed over 5000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish.(Luke 9:130(John 6:9)
The Bible doesn't describe the size of the loaves of bread in Mark 6:38-43. What is significant is not the size of the loaves, but the amount of them. If Jesus was able to break up five loaves into enough pieces to feed 5,000 men (Mark 6:44), it was indeed a miracle!
A large crowd of people who witnessed the miracle of feeding about 5000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish (with leftovers!)
The symbol of a fish was used in early Christianity to represent Jesus Christ and his followers. It was a secret symbol used by persecuted Christians to identify themselves to each other. The fish symbol, known as the ichthys, also symbolized the miraculous feeding of the 5,000 by Jesus with two fish and five loaves of bread.
Jesus fed a crowd of 5,000 men, and possibly more when accounting for women and children, with five loaves of bread and two fish. This miracle is recorded in the Bible in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
To be carrying them with for hours I assume the fish were dried.
