What does the Bible say about the significance of numbers in miracles?

In Mark 8:13-21, Jesus uses the numbers of leftovers from the feedings of the five thousand and four thousand to convey deep spiritual truths. The twelve baskets represent completeness and God's perfect law given through Israel, reminding us that our own works cannot fulfill the law’s demands. Similarly, seven baskets symbolize the fullness of creation, yet point out that seeking fulfillment in temporal pleasures, like those pursued by Herod, leads to spiritual emptiness. Ultimately, these numbers remind believers to rely on Christ as the true Bread of Life, emphasizing that through Him alone can we find complete satisfaction and understanding.
