SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:38
El les dice: ¿Cuntos panes tenis? Id, y vedlo. Y sabindolo, dijeron: Cinco, y dos peces.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 38. And he saith unto them, how many loaves have ye ? etc..] This he said, not as ignorant, but as willing to try their faith yet more, and that the after miracle might be more manifest and illustrious: go and see ; meaning, either that they should examine their own store, if they had any; or rather go and see what was to be had upon the spot, among the company, for money; and when they knew, they say five loaves and two fishes : when they had made inquiry what provisions there were, and the most that could be got at any rate, they tell him, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, particularly, that there was a boy among the multitude that had five barley loaves, and two small fishes; and, at the same time, suggests, that they were nothing for so great a company.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 30-44 - Let not ministers do any thing or teach any thing, but what they ar willing should be told to their Lord. Christ notices the frights of some, and the toils of others of his disciples, and provides rest for those that are tired, and refuge for those that are terrified. The people sought the spiritual food of Christ's word, and then he too care that they should not want bodily food. If Christ and his disciple put up with mean things, surely we may. And this miracle shows tha Christ came into the world, not only to restore, but to preserve an nourish spiritual life; in him there is enough for all that come. Non are sent empty away from Christ but those who come to him full of themselves. Though Christ had bread enough at command, he teaches u not to waste any of God's bounties, remembering how many are in want We may, some time, need the fragments that we now throw away.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
6:38 {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. qen 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 (denariwn diakosiwn. See on Mt 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.
