The scene, filmed over four days on a new production site in Midlothian, Texas, includes 12,000 extras.

These individuals—many of whom are fans of the show—came from all 50 states and from 36 countries and range in age from tiny babies to 91 years old.

"The majority of the people here have made their own costumes. They've come at their own expense to be here," Derral Eves, CEO and executive producer of "The Chosen," told KLTV-TV. "It's really great to see the diversity of costumes and the diversity of people, and it's just a blessing to see all the support."

The massive undertaking is noteworthy, especially considering the logistics of coordinating so many actors in one location. The powerful scene is based on the narrative in Matthew 14:13-21, where readers see Jesus miraculously feed a crowd of 5,000 people with "only five loaves of bread and two fish."

In the Biblical passage, we see the disciples coming to Jesus and telling him to send crowds away. They warn that the time is getting late and people will need to find food.

But Christ replies, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat." The disciples then inform Jesus that they only have a handful of loaves and fish.
