I quote:
“According the Gospel and the old Christian tradition there are two multiplications and two places,” said Voltaggio. A passage in Mark 8:16-21 refers to two loaves and fishes miracles in one dialogue.
The first involved five loaves and two fish that became enough food for some 5,000 Jewish men (women and children were not counted) on one side of the Sea of Galilee. Its location is traditionally placed at Tabgha. The other, said Voltaggio, was conducted for some 4,000 pagan men and occurred on the side of the lake. That miracle, chronicled in Mark and Matthew, involves seven loaves of bread and “a few small fish.”
