The first miracle, the "Feeding of the 5,000", is the only miracle—aside from the resurrection—recorded in all four gospels[1] (Matthew 14:13–21;[2] Mark 6:31–44;[3] Luke 9:12–17;[4] John 6:1–14[5]).

The second miracle, the "Feeding of the 4,000", with seven loaves of bread and a few small fish, is reported in Matthew 15:32–39[6] and Mark 8:1–9[7] but not by Luke or John.
