“And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.”
Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. — Jesus' actions (took, gave thanks, distributed) parallel Eucharistic language; this is the second sign depending on counting. The abundance (hosoi ethlon) contrasts with the boy's meager offering.
