Didn't anybody ever tell Jesus that if you really want to help someone you will teach him how to fish and not just give him food?

I think he knew that about fish, but did you ever try to teach a man to bake?

Yes because after the long journey everyone was tired and probabley wondered why Jesus took them so far and so that's why the boy only had 2 loaves and 5 fish. So He multiplied it , plus that was also on of the great miracles that Jesus had performed, just like when He turned the water into wine. He was trying to tell us in so many word that He is who He says He is...I am who I am! And He is still the most greatest miracle performer Because He turned my whole live around. I have an awesome testimony about what Jesus has done for me.

These people Jesus was feeding were there to listen to Him teach of God and The Holy Spirit.
He was feeding them thru the body with the bread and fish and thru the soul with His teaching. All this was done at the same time. If you were told someone could do something and you saw someone doing something, wouldn't you believe what you saw faster than what you heard.
Well, Jesus knew His days on earth were numbered so He didn't lose time. What ever blessing He gives us, we can multiply it ten fold thru faith.
Oh yeah, Jesus didn't turn the water to wine this time, that was at a wedding He was at. And no they didn't get smashed with it either. Wine in those days was just grape juice, (not fermented)much like our grape juice today.....

One of the greatest masters in our universe, Jesus took human embodiment in an extremely dark time to bring light and hope. His crucifixion and resurrection empowered his life and greatness to live in our hearts forever. He came to tell us that we also are the beloved Christ of God, sons and daughters of God, one with God. That we also may serve and heal as he did, may multiply the loaves and fishes, walk upon water, transcend death

He was showing us his mercy by feeding them and then teaching them!
If uve ever been around hungry children u would know u cant teach them anything while they r screamin they r hungry. Feed 'e and shut 'em up so they will listen as u tell them how to fish.
Did you know that when they were all done eating their fill, they had 12 baskets left!? He was showing them that if they would but come to Him he would make their cups runeth over! Peace! :)

Mean no disrespect but you're wrong for saying anything negative about Jesus in the first place you should be thankful that He even allowed you to wake up this morning and He is allowing you still to be alive. You should really think about that and repent He was showing His mercy and and kindness to them then and He is still to you and me right now He didn't HAVE to do anything at all.

Instead of multiplying....he could have used a scalar product for the fish and Rolle's theorem for the bread
You may have seen the Church of Christ, Scientist???
Well.....this is the church of Christ, Mathematician

Remember you can't go wrong doing what Jesus would do. Just scream out loud: Jesus did it.
