Bible story: The feeding of the five thousand

Creative activities based on the Bible story of The feeding of the five thousand

In the Gospels of Matthew 14: 13-21, Mark 6: 31-44, Luke 9: 10-17 en John 6: 1-15, there is a miraculous story of Jesus feeding a multitude of people with just a few loaves of bread and fish. The story occurs after Jesus and his disciples had been preaching and teaching in a remote area, and the people were becoming hungry.

In response to their hunger, Jesus took the meager resources of five loaves and two fish, blessed them, and distributed them to the crowd. Miraculously, everyone was able to eat their fill, and there were even leftovers.
