Feeding the Five Thousand

Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down, and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
John 6:5,9,11


THE STORY IN THE PAINTING



This simple still life symbolizes the two small fishes offered by the lad to feed the five thousand. The Savior was able to multiply the boy’s small offering to bless thousands.
