Jesus takes the disciples by boat to a private place. After a time he feeds 5000. This parable marks 5000 years from Noah's flood where Jesus begins to feed the people. The interval is the number of years from Noah to Jesus and is only off by 126 days.

42 Mark 6:30-44
30And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.
31And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
33And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran afoot thither out of all cities, and outwent them, and came together unto him.
34And Jesus, when he came out, saw much people, and was moved with compassion toward them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
35And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:
36Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat.
37He answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
38He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.
39And he commanded them to make all sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.
41And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.
42And they did all eat, and were filled.
43And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.
44And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men.

31And he saith unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while. For there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat.
32And they went away in the boat to a desert place apart.
33And the people saw them going, and many knew them, and they ran together there on foot from all the cities, and outwent them.
34And he came forth and saw a great multitude, and he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep not having a shepherd: and he began to teach them many things.
35And when the day was now far spent, his disciples came unto him, and said, The place is desert, and the day is now far spent;
36send them away, that they may go into the country and villages round about, and buy themselves somewhat to eat.
37But he answered and said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread, and give them to eat?

42 Mark 6:30-44
30¶ And the apostles gathered together to Jesus, and told him everything they had done and what they had taught.
31And he said to them, Come, let us go to the wilderness all alone and rest awhile; for there were many coming and going, and they had no chance even to eat.
32So they went away in a boat to a desert place by themselves.
33And many people saw them when they were leaving and they knew them, and from all the cities they hurried by land and reached the place ahead of him.
34And when Jesus went out he saw large crowds, and he had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them a great many things.
35And when it was getting late, his disciples came up to him and said to him, This is a desert place, and it is getting late;
36Dismiss them so that they may go away to the farms and villages around us and buy bread for themselves; for they have nothing to eat.
37He said to them, You give them to eat. They said to him, Shall we go and buy two hundred penny's worth of bread and give it to them to eat?
38He said to them, Go and see how many loaves of bread you have here. And when they found out, they said to him, Five loaves of bread and two fish.
39And he commanded them to make everyone sit down in groups on the grass.
40So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
41Then he took the five loaves of bread and the two fish, and he looked up to heaven and blessed and broke the loaves of bread, and gave them to his disciples to place before them; and they divided the two fish among them all.
42And they all ate and were satisfied.
43And they took up the fragments of bread, twelve full baskets, and also of the fish.

42 Mark 6:30-44
30The apostles returned to Jesus, and told him all that they had done and taught.
31And he said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a lonely place, and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat.
32And they went away in the boat to a lonely place by themselves.
33Now many saw them going, and knew them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns, and got there ahead of them.
34As he went ashore he saw a great throng, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things.
35And when it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, "This is a lonely place, and the hour is now late;
36send them away, to go into the country and villages round about and buy themselves something to eat."
37But he answered them, "You give them something to eat." And they said to him, "Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread, and give it to them to eat?"
38And he said to them, "How many loaves have you? Go and see." And when they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."
39Then he commanded them all to sit down by companies upon the green grass.
40So they sat down in groups, by hundreds and by fifties.
41And taking the five loaves and the two fish he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples to set before the people; and he divided the two fish among them all.
42And they all ate and were satisfied.
43And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.
44And those who ate the loaves were five thousand men.(RSV)
42 Mark 6:30-44
30The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.
31Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest."
32So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. 33But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.
35By this time it was late in the day, so his disciples came to him. "This is a remote place," they said, "and it's already very late. 36Send the people away so they can go to the surrounding countryside and villages and buy themselves something to eat."
37But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take eight months of a man's wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?"
38"How many loaves do you have?" he asked. "Go and see." When they found out, they said, "Five -- and two fish."
39Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42They all ate and were satisfied, 43and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces of bread and fish. 44The number of the men who had eaten was five thousand.(NIV)

31And he said to them, Come, let us go to the wilderness all alone and rest awhile; for there were many coming and going, and they had no chance even to eat.

37He said to them, You give them to eat. They said to him, Will we go and buy 200 denarii's worth of bread and give it to them to eat?
38He said to them, Go and see how many loaves of bread you have here. And when they found out, they said to him, 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish.
39And he commanded them to make everyone sit down in groups on the grass.
40So they sat down in groups, by 100s and by 50s.
41Then he took the 5 loaves of bread and the 2 fish, and he looked up to heaven and blessed and broke the loaves of bread, and gave them to his disciples to place before them; and they divided the 2 fish among them all.
42And they all ate and were satisfied.
43And they took up the fragments of bread, 12 full baskets, and also of the fish.
44And those who ate the bread were 5,000 men. (BRB)
This story, like so many others in the Book of Mark begins with travel across the Sea of Galilee by boat.1 This resets the prophetic time clock back to the Bible's most famous boat: Noah's Ark.
When they get to the mountainside Jesus has compassion on the crowds that have come out to meet him so he decides to feed them. After a dialog with the disciples on where the food will come from, Jesus proceeds to divide five loaves and two fish. The people, organized in ranks of 100s and 50s sit on the grass. Jesus looks up to heaven, gives thanks, then gives them to the people to eat. When the miracle is over Jesus has fed 5000 people.
Prophetic time intervals are always rendered at a 1 to 1 ratio. In this case, 1 person is 1 year. The interval from Noah's flood is 5000 years.
Noah's flood the 17th day of the 2nd month of the year 6020 from Adam. 5000 years later is the 17th day of the 2nd month of the year 11020 from Adam. This is date is known in history as Sunday, July 29, 31 OS. This is 126 days after Resurrection Sunday. Pretty good, a parable off by only 126 days across 5000 years.
The feeding of the 5000 is an interesting story because it does not involve other people. This story only involves Jesus, his disciples and the ever present crowds. This parable focused on Jesus, his disciples and the crowd.
Jesus is ultimately the one who has been in heaven and seen into the heavenly realm. In order to share that with other's he had to die on a cross. He did that 129 days before the indicated prophetic date. After his resurrection he began to feed everyone else. The main ceremony Jesus left his church with is called Communion. In the ceremony, wine and bread are taken by Christians as a remembrance of the body and blood of Jesus. In this parable the bread and the fish also represent the body and blood of Jesus.
