The Feeding of the 5,000 is also known as the "miracle of the five loaves and two fish"; the Gospel of John reports that Jesus used five loaves and two fish supplied by a boy to feed a multitude.

Jesus fed Jewish listeners in Mark 6 and he most probably feeds a gentile crowd here, [12] although C. M. Tuckett argues that it is not certain that the crowd in chapter 8 is a gentile gathering. [22] Jesus refuses to perform a miracle for the Pharisees, who ask for one, but performs miracles for the Gentiles, who do not.
