Description:

Christus en zijn apostelen zitten in een kring. Achter hen zijn er heel wat mensen bij elkaar gekomen om Christus te horen spreken. De apostelen hebben niet genoeg brood mee voor deze luisteraars. Christus zegent de zeven broden en twee vissen die een kind aanbrengt en iedereen kon eten (Johannes 6:1-13). De prent heeft een Latijns onderschrift; ze maakt deel uit van een reeks over het leven van Christus.
