These two passages intrigue me.
Jesus feeding the five thousand from five loaves and two fish...miraculous ...he turns a little into much by his power and His blessing and giving thanks...multiplication...many are fed...
Then later, after His resurrection, he waits for his disciples with bread and fish on the fire ashore after their discouraging night of no fish...he is ready to feed the disciples again...but first their catch is multiplied to bursting....by his power ....blessing...
Following this he tells Peter to carry on feeding the flock of people who will come...
Each is about multiplying the kingdom...feeding them.,thankfulness..the power of God's Word...blessing...
Thank YOU that you continue to multiply and add to your kingdom...it wasn't a one time thing, but ageless....
Matthew 14:17-21 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
“Bring them here to me,” he said.
And he directed the people to sit down on the grass.
Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves.
Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over.
The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

John 21:4-6, 8 John 20:6 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”“No,” they answered.
Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.”
When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.
John 21:9, 12-17 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.
Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.”
None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord.
Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.
This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.
When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.
