Should we take the miracle of the loaves and fishes seriously? [Spirituality & Religion]

Quite apart from the supernatural element, are we to believe that thousands of people were following Jesus around for days and none of them brought food?🤔
I guess they brought water though because there's no miracle of the water bottles.

Yes because people took them in! And yes it was a miracle just like he does today multiplying our money if we put him first! I have seen so many money miracles! I dare not give him my first tenth! And no I’m not scared I just take his promises serious! God knows we need our food and we love our money! So he challenges us to give, and he rewards us!
There I witness because I want people to understand that God is a rewarded of those who love him!

No I don’t think they were all following him for days! They came to listen for a few hours! He had given them directions to bring nothing!

If they were within distance of their homes then they wouldn't have needed to feed the people.
It wasn't an afternoon outing to hear Jesus speak.

@Pikachu yes it’s was!

@Carazaa

yes it’s was!

Nope.
They were out, far away from their homes for days. Read your bible:

"I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way."

@Pikachu so They stayed with Jesus and be fed them!

Pikachu

@Carazaa

so They stayed with Jesus and be fed them!

...um

So you concede that in fact they were following Jesus for days and that it was not, as you claimed, a quick outing to hear Jesus speak.

So we get back to my question:
Are we to believe that thousands of people were following Jesus around for days and none of them brought food?

@Pikachu I answered already!

Pikachu

@Carazaa

...is your answer just "Yes, we should believe that thousands of people followed Jesus for three days and no one brought food" ?

Some might, but you know if you bring some granola bars it’s not enough!
