[14] For about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, them sit down by fifties in a company. [15] And they did so, and them all [16] Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude. [17] And they did eat, and all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

What does Luke 9:14-17 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Luke"s account here does not differ from the others significantly. The miracle shows that when believers become partners with Jesus in the execution of His mission, He can enable them to provide greater blessing for others than they can by themselves. And He takes good care of His servants; each disciple received a basket of leftovers. The absence of reference to the crowd"s reaction in the synoptic accounts focuses attention on the results of the miracle. It must have elicited another question: Who is Jesus?
