Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish — Jesus' action (coming, taking, giving) mirrors Eucharistic language and establishes him as the host and provider. The distribution of bread and fish recallsthe feeding miracles and suggests that resurrection fellowship involves the sustenance and sharing of life. The active verbs (took, gave) stress Jesus' agency and care.
