    The only food mentioned is the little kid fishes and bread. If it were more, pretty sure they’d mention it as well.

    The whole point was that they were far away from the nearest place to buy food and money for feeding about 15k people would exceed even a yearly salary

    Literally there was not enough food in the whole group for a “potluck”

      Jesus made a speech, they passed around the baskets his group had for the meal, and suddenly they more than enough

      Do you think they had grocery stores? That they catered events? That they even had a salary, and carried money instead of food?

      I don’t even know where all these numbers and money focus are coming from, but they weren’t in the text

      Everyone shared their lunch… That was the whole thing. They shared the food they were initially unwilling to share, and when everyone was full (including those who came with nothing) they had baskets of leftovers
