Jesus Feeds 5,000
Jesus and the disciples withdrew from the crowds to "a quiet place, where they could be alone." Unfortunately for them, the crowds followed. Jesus, instead of slipping away to have his privacy, showed that he cared more about the needs of the curious crowd than about his own needs.
When you think about the size of the fish and the small loaves (probably only a few ounces each) compared with the size of the crowd (probably more than 10,000 people, including women and children), this was an amazing miracle. Even after all the people had eaten, the food that remained was many times more than had originally been given.
Mark 6:30-44
Philippians 4:19
• What do you think Jesus' followers thought when they saw that they had only two fish and five loaves of bread to feel all those people?
• How would you have felt if you had seen Jesus' miracle that day?
