Lazarus stared at the mass of people. He figured it must be at least twenty five thousand gathered there. He figured it must be at least five thousand males there. Jesus's disciples were frantic. They were wondering how much bread it took to feed that many people. 

Then, one of the disciples found a boy in a striped tunic. He was carrying a bundle of five loaves and two fish. Jesus told them to put the people into groups. Jesus thanked the boy. He took a loaf and blessed it. Loaf after loaf came out of that bundle. The people ate until they were satisfied. Twelve baskets of leftovers were collected. Lazarus had just witnessed another miracle.

People wanted to make Jesus their King.

Jesus quickly and quietly left.
