Because Christianity at it's core rejects rugged Individualism.

Per the Universal destination of good, all resources are meant to serve everyone, not just gatekept by individualists. While you have to right to private ownership and consumption and should not be forced by others to give what you have. But the love of Christ should compel you to serve others with your excesses.

The actual answer is that they already knew how to fish and it was done for time constraints.
The funny answer is that Jews would be offended at being instructed to perform labor.
And the based answer is that they were too busy pondering gock to be able to learn anything anyway.

Which others? Surely a parent should prioritize providing for his family first? Jesus was celibate, he obviously had more flexible means to choose who to help.

Naturally yourself and and immediate family/community take priority. But if you can take care of those needs, any excess could should be directed outside of your individual bubble.

Insert the stuff in the Bible about leaving part of your crops open to others for use, selling your excess property for the goal of providing for others etc etc etc.

How do we define excess? What if I want to more than just provide the bare needs of my family but also give them the proper conditions and education to become successful later on in life, something which will of course require more investment on my part but after all is not vital for survival? Also, does the demand to leave excess for others neccessarily mean that leaving an inheritance is immoral?

Defining excess is hard, especially if trying to force a definition at some institutional level. The most simple answer is that YOU should define for yourself what is needed and what is excess. If you have 10 kids, there is an obvious need for more resources than a single person. In the spirit of charity and poverty, you should start to desire less in general.

In regards to building up better conditions and education for your loved ones, is always a good goal. If you are able to provide that for your family, you should also have the desire to work with others to help them achieve that goal as well, as long as doesn't become a coercion for you to maintain it yourself. There are things where community support is fantastic, hence the old phrases of "it takes a village to raise a child". Something we totally lack in our modern liberal individual hellscape.

Inheritance is a tough one for me personally. There is a level of inheritance that is well and good, particularly leaving your property to your family. But in the context of the uber-rich, you can see how nepotism can corrupt the youth that inherited the world without ever actually have to work in any real way. Realistically, your average person will only gather a modest inheritance.

He just put baskets in some of the circles where they sat and taught them to share by being the first giving some of the food he had.

Jesus taught the world was ending soon, no point in sustaining yourself on this earth any longer.
