Mark 6:38
Compare all
36 Send them away, that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy themselves1 bread; for they have nothing to eat.”  
37 But He answered and said to them, “You give them something to eat.” And they said to Him, a“Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?”  
38 But He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.” And when they found out they said, a“Five, and two fish.”  
39 Then He acommanded them to make them all sit down in groups on the green grass.  
40 So they sat down in ranks, in hundreds and in fifties.
41 And when He had taken the five loaves and the two fish, He alooked up to heaven, bblessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and the two fish He divided among them all.  
42 So they all ate and were filled.
43 And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish.
44 Now those who had eaten the loaves were1 about five thousand men.

Mark 6:38

Go and see (upagete idete). John says that Jesus asked Philip to find out what food they had (John 6:5 f.) probably after the disciples had suggested that Jesus send the crowd away as night was coming on (Mark 6:35 f.). On this protest to his command that they feed the crowds (Mark 6:37; Matthew 14:16; Luke 9:13) Jesus said "Go see" how many loaves you can get hold of. Then Andrew reports the fact of the lad with five barley loaves and two fishes (John 6:8 f.). They had suggested before that two hundred pennyworth (dhnariwn diakosiwn. See on Matthew 18:28) was wholly inadequate and even that (some thirty-five dollars) was probably all that or even more than they had with them. John's Gospel alone tells of the lad with his lunch which his mother had given him.
