{Go and see} (hupagete idete). John says that Jesus asked
Philip to find out what food they had ( Joh 6:5f. ) probably
after the disciples had suggested that Jesus send the crowd away
as night was coming on ( Mr 6:35f. ). On this protest to his
command that they feed the crowds ( Mr 6:37  Mt 14:16  Lu 9:13 )
Jesus said "Go see" how many loaves you can get hold of. Then
Andrew reports the fact of the lad with five barley loaves and
two fishes ( Joh 6:8f. ). They had suggested before that two
hundred pennyworth (d(886e)ari(936e) diakosi(936e). See on 烘t 18:28|) was
wholly inadequate and even that (some thirty-five dollars) was
probably all that or even more than they had with them. John's
Gospel alone tells of the lad with his lunch which his mother had
given him.
