Mark 6:38

‘And he says to them, “How many loaves have you? Go and see.” And when they knew they say, “Five, and two fish.”

Then He called their attention to what they did have. His command was firm. They must sum up their resources. And when they did so they found that they had five loaves and two fish. And little though they knew it, that would be enough. The loaves would not be large loaves. They would be the flat cakes. John 6:9 tells us that they were barley loaves, the food of the poor. The fish would also be fairly small.
