John 6:5-13
Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip,“ Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?”But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.Philip answered Him,“ Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.”One of His disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to Him,“ There is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fish, but what are they among so many?”Then Jesus said,“ Make the people sit down.” Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.And Jesus took the loaves, and when He had given thanks He distributed them to the disciples, and the disciples to those sitting down; and likewise of the fish, as much as they wanted.So when they were filled, He said to His disciples,“ Gather up the fragments that remain, so that nothing is lost.”Therefore they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

Mark 8:2-9
“ I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.”Then His disciples answered Him,“ How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?”He asked them,“ How many loaves do you have?” And they said,“ Seven.”So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.They also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set them also before them.So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments.Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away,

Luke 9:10-17
And the apostles, when they had returned, told Him all that they had done. Then He took them and went aside privately into a deserted place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.But when the multitudes knew it, they followed Him; and He received them and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who had need of healing.When the day began to wear away, the twelve came and said to Him,“ Send the multitude away, that they may go into the surrounding towns and country, and lodge and get provisions; for we are in a deserted place here.”But He said to them,“ You give them something to eat.” And they said,“ We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.”For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples,“ Make them sit down in groups of fifty.”And they did so, and made them all sit down.Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude.So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.

Matthew 14:13-21
When Jesus heard it, He departed from there by boat to a deserted place by Himself. But when the multitudes heard it, they followed Him on foot from the cities.And when Jesus went out He saw a great multitude; and He was moved with compassion for them, and healed their sick.When it was evening, His disciples came to Him, saying,“ This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages and buy themselves food.”But Jesus said to them,“ They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”And they said to Him,“ We have here only five loaves and two fish.”He said,“ Bring them here to Me.”Then He commanded the multitudes to sit down on the grass. And He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitudes.So they all ate and were filled, and they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments that remained.Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
