We have no more but five loaves and two fishes Compare Numbers 11:22. It was Andrew who first mentioned this fact in a tentative sort of way. The little boy (paidarion) who carried them seems to have been in attendance on the Apostles; evidently this was the food which they had brought for their own supply, and it proves their simplicity of life, for barley loaves(John 6:9) are the food of the poor (2 Kings 4:42; Judges 7:13; Ezekiel 13:19; Ezekiel 4:9).
