Yes read about it in Matthew 14:14-21
He fed 5,000 men, besides women and children. And there were 12 baskets full of left overs. So it was more than 5,000 people.
Pretty cool!

Yes. He also fed a crowd of 4,000 people (not counting women and children) with 7 loaves and a few small fish. Check it out in Matthew 15:29

Yes, and then some... the 5000 did not include women and children.
[Mat 14:18] Then he said, "Bring them here to me,"
[Mat 14:19] and he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, he said the blessing, broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, who in turn gave them to the crowds.
[Mat 14:20] They all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over --twelve wicker baskets full.
[Mat 14:21] Those who ate were about five thousand men, not counting women and children.

According to Phineas Temp, who ate there:
"Damn. I paid $5 for this all you can eat buffet, and all I got was a single fish bone an 2 bread crumbs. You shoulda seen the crowds rush the buffet stands! It was complete mayhem! This Jesus guy may be a great speaker, but he oughta stay outta the restaurant business."
Quoted from Jerusalem Times, 40CE, "I saw Jesus Stories, No 53 in a series".

First of all there was only 50 of us, the bread was stale and the fish was spoiled. Jesus still made us eat it even though Muhammad just came by with some plump goats for us to eat. Many of us ended up with food poisoning from the fish. Sometimes Jesus was too damned competitive with other prophets...

Yep! He actually did this sort of miracle twice! Matthew 14:3-32 and Matthew 15: 32-39

It was 5000 men, that did not count the women and children present.
Peace!

I believe he did. They have been able to prove that other miracles did really happen (like the 10 plagues, the parting of the sea, the whole exodous...) and how, whats to say that this didn't happen as well?

Yep he sure did. It would be "iffy" if that was only miracle he performed, but he healed, drove out demons, and most of all raised himself up from the dead. So i think he can multiply fish and bread. God bless.
