Not only for twelve disciples but also for many people Jesus gave loaves and fish giving thanks near the Passover.Nowhere else He took the meal of Euchrist with his disciples.I think,St.John suggested the Euchrist of the last Supper.

It tells us that Jesus is compassionate for the people and He didn`t want to turn them away with empty stomach. Jesus did this miracle is also a way of telling us that we have seen a prophet who came to save us. By: Kathleen Terado - January 14, 2007 - Public Category: Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand

It is a miraculous deed in itself - how can you explain it scientifically - but also an anticipation - see reference to the Passover Feast - of that even greater miracle of the feeding of billions through the Eucharistic Sacrifice throughout the centuries. All starting from the death of one body. He also tests Philip`s faith by asking what can we do? it`s impossible to feed them all. He knows that he has faith in all powerful God. He very calmly and confidently sets out to distribute it and give thanks prior to the breaking of the bread. The first church gathering in history for the scarifice of the Holy Mass here anticipated. Gives you the shivers knowing what it alluded to. The people there didn`t. So the miraculous nature of the physical multiplication of the fish and bread was the most strinking element for them something that told them of his divine powers.

After these things,
Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also
called the Sea of Tiberias. A great multitude followed him,
because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick. Jesus went up into the mountain,
and he sat there with his disciples. Now the Passover, the feast of the
Jews, was at hand. Jesus
therefore lifting up his eyes, and seeing that a great multitude was
coming to him, said to Philip, "Where are we to buy
bread, that these may eat?" This he said to test him, for he
himself knew what he would do.
Philip answered him,
"Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that
everyone of them may receive a little."
One of his disciples,
Andrew, SimonPeter's brother, said to him, "There is a boy here who has
five barleyloaves and two fish, but what are these among so many?"
Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much
grass in that place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
Jesus took the loaves;
and having given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the
disciples to those who were sitting down; likewise also of the fish as
much as they desired. When they were filled, he said to
his disciples, "Gather up the broken pieces which are
left over, that nothing be lost." So they gathered them up, and
filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barleyloaves,
which were left over by those who had eaten. When therefore the people saw the
sign which Jesus did, they said, "This is truly the prophet who comes
into the world." Jesus therefore, perceiving that
they were about to come and take him by force, to make him king, withdrew
again to the mountain by himself.
