      Yes, the magic of an impromptu potluck

      Literally the whole point of this “miracle” was to show how if everyone pools resources, there’s more than enough to go around

      But that didn’t fit the message the Romans were going for, so they magic’d it up

        The only food mentioned is the little kid fishes and bread. If it were more, pretty sure they’d mention it as well.

        The whole point was that they were far away from the nearest place to buy food and money for feeding about 15k people would exceed even a yearly salary

        Literally there was not enough food in the whole group for a “potluck”
