📖 The Miracle of Feeding the Five Thousand

This paragraph recounts the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand, as described in Mark 6:30-44. It begins with the apostles returning to Jesus and sharing their experiences. Jesus then takes them to a deserted place to rest, but a large crowd follows. Jesus, moved by compassion, teaches the crowd. As the day ends, the disciples suggest sending the crowd away to buy food, but Jesus instructs them to feed the crowd. With five loaves and two fish, Jesus blesses the food, distributes it through the disciples, and miraculously feeds everyone, leaving twelve baskets of leftovers.

05:01

🧠 Theological Interpretations and Skepticism

This paragraph discusses the skeptical interpretations of Jesus's miracle by the religious historical school. The narrator recounts two explanations from his high school minister: one suggesting Jesus staged the event with hidden food and another proposing that the real miracle was people sharing their provisions. Both interpretations are criticized for manifesting unbelief and failing to recognize the text's divine supernatural narrative. The paragraph contrasts these skeptical views with the biblical account of Jesus's compassion and miraculous provision.

10:02

⛪ Contrasting Feasts: Herod's and Jesus's

The paragraph contrasts two feasts: one hosted by Herod Agrippa, marked by opulence and the execution of John the Baptist, and another by Jesus, marked by simplicity and compassion. Herod's feast was exclusive and decadent, while Jesus's feast was inclusive and miraculous. This juxtaposition highlights the humility and divine provision in Jesus's actions. The narrative then returns to the disciples' missionary journey and their gathering with Jesus in a solitary place, emphasizing the traditional biblical motif of meeting God in the wilderness.

15:04

🏞️ Seeking Solitude and Compassion for the Multitude

This paragraph describes Jesus and his disciples seeking a solitary place for rest after their missionary journey. Despite their efforts, a large crowd follows them. Jesus, moved by compassion, teaches the crowd instead of seeking privacy. The text emphasizes Jesus's deep empathy, unique to him, and his recognition of the people as 'sheep without a shepherd.' This compassion drives him to address their spiritual needs by teaching them, underscoring the pastoral role of feeding the flock with God's word.

20:05

🥖 The Challenge of Feeding the Crowd

In this paragraph, the disciples express their concern about feeding the large crowd, highlighting the impracticality of buying enough bread with limited resources. Jesus instructs them to use what they have, illustrating a lesson in faith and divine provision. This mirrors the Old Testament account of God's miraculous provision of manna. The disciples' initial disbelief contrasts with Jesus's assurance that God can multiply their meager resources. This narrative emphasizes the importance of trusting in God's power to provide and act beyond human limitations.

25:08

🙏 Jesus's Prayer and Provision

This final paragraph recounts Jesus's prayer of thanksgiving and the miraculous multiplication of food. Jesus prays a traditional Jewish blessing, acknowledging God's providence. This miracle, recorded in all four gospels, foreshadows the Last Supper and the spiritual nourishment Jesus provides. The narrative underscores that Jesus's provision satisfies both physical and spiritual hunger, leaving an abundance of leftovers. This act symbolizes Jesus's compassionate and sufficient provision for all who come to him, fulfilling their deepest needs.

This term underscores Jesus' empathy and care for the people, contrasting with the self-serving feast of Herod mentioned in the script.

💡Sheep without a Shepherd

This phrase is used to describe the crowd that Jesus sees as aimless and in need of guidance.

Transcripts

this morning we continue our study of

the

gospel according to saint mark and

in this morning's lesson we read mark's

version

of the feeding of the five thousand

found in mark 6 verses 30 through

44 and i would ask the congregation to

stand for the reading of the word of god

then the apostles gathered to jesus and

told him all things

both what they had done and what they

had taught

and he said to them come aside by

yourselves to a deserted place

and rest a while for there were many

coming and going and they didn't have

time to eat

and so they departed to a deserted place

in the boat by themselves

but the multitude saw them departing

and many knew him and ran there on foot

from all the cities

and they arrived before them and came

together to him

and jesus when he came out saw a great

multitude

and was moved with compassion for them

because they were like sheep not having

a shepherd

so he began to teach them many things

and when the day was now far spent his

disciples came to him and said

this is a deserted place and already the

hour

is late send them away that they may go

into the surrounding country and

villages

and buy themselves bread for they have

nothing to eat

but he answered and said to them you

give them

something to eat and they said to him

shall we go and buy

200 denarii worth of bread and give them

something to eat but he said to them

how many loaves do you have go and see

and when they found out they said five

and two fish then he commanded them to

make them all sit down in groups on the

green grass

and so they sat down in ranks in

hundreds and fifties

and when he had taken the five loaves

and the two fish he looked up to heaven

blessed and broke the loaves and gave

them to his disciples to set before them

and the two fish he divided among them

all

so they all ate and were filled

and they took up 12 baskets full of

fragments

and of the fish and those who had eaten

the loaves

were about 5 000

men beloved

this is the unvarnished truth

of god if you have ears to hear it

then listen you may be seated

let us pray

again our father we come

this morning to be fed

to be fed from your word to be fed from

the table

of our lord

when you feed us oh god

we are always satisfied

amen

in the 19th century we saw the

development of a school of theology

known as the religious historical school

and sometimes just described as

historical liberalism

there's a definite movement that was

anti-supernatural

from beginning to end its impact spilled

over to the 20th century

with neoliberalism and now into the 21st

century with the

advent of the so-called jesus

seminar under attack by

this school was every

narrative found in scripture

particularly the new testament

that involved miracle or the

supernatural

because the tacit assumption of the

critics

was that there is no

such thing as divine supernatural

intervention in history

and so they were left with this

narrative among others

and they took it upon themselves to

explain how

a more natural interpretation could be

given

to these texts that would not ask us to

stretch our imagination to believe

in miracle and some of these

explanations

range from the bizarre to the

ridiculous when i was growing up

in pittsburgh our minister taught us in

high school

that what happened here at the feeding

of the 5000 was one of two things

both explanations he received from the

religious historical school

scholars the worst

interpretation was this the jesus

had carefully prepared for this event

by devious means of filling a cave

near the sea of galilee with

a large number of food stuff stored

there in that cave and jesus had a

flowing robe with

loose sleeves much as you might see

on the atar of a magician and he had his

disciples hidden

in the cave behind him and they formed a

bucket brigade

passing loaves and fishes up through the

back of his robe which he then

distributed

to this mass of humanity that was

gathered there and so what happened

was no miraculous intervention by god

but rather a hoax perpetrated

by a fraudulent preacher

that was one explanation the favorite

one of my pastor was this

that when jesus finished his teaching

that day the people were tired

they were hungry and very few of them

had thought forward enough to bring

foodstuffs for their nourishment

and so jesus asked his disciples to go

around and find out

who had brought food and some of the

people were prepared some had brought

fish

some had brought loaves and so jesus

then addressed the multitude and said

share what you have one with another

and so everyone was able to eat because

those who brought food

shared with those who did not and the

true miracle that took place here

was an ethical miracle it was the

miracle

of human beings sharing their provisions

one with another

what one commentator in the 20th century

said about

these theories is that what they

manifest simply as this

is unbelief this is not what

the text sets before us and we're going

to look and see

indeed what the text declares

let me remind you that this takes place

after the execution of john the baptist

which was sandwiched between

the commissioning of the twelve to the

villages around the sea of galilee

in their first trial missionary journey

where jesus authorized them and

empowered them

to be involved in the ministry and then

that narrative was interrupted by

the story of the execution of john the

baptist now

we come back to the text the disciples

have returned

from their missionary outreach to the

villages there

in the region and before we

look at what happened let me just

introduce this this morning

by saying that we have consecutive

accounts of

dramatic feasts

the first was hosted

by herod agrippa

the second feast was hosted

by jesus

in the first feast only the nobles

and the elite of the territory were

invited

by invitation in the second feast

it was the amarettes the people of the

land

the commoners who gathered there on the

plane

to be fed through the provisions

set forth by jesus

in the first feast the food was prepared

by gourmet

chefs in the second feast

it was prepared by the hand

of the messiah in the first

feast the entertainment

was through body and exotic dancing

in this feast the first

item of order was the exposition

of the truth of god by the son

of god and finally we note this

difference

that in the feast hosted by herod

its highlight was the bloody execution

of a man of god and in this feast

that we read now there were no

executions only compassion

made manifest in the feeding miracle

of jesus but with that contrast and view

let's look briefly at the text

the disciples who are now apostles

temporarily at least came back and

gathered to jesus told them all about

the journey they had done

and he said to them come aside by

yourselves to a deserted place

and rest a while i'm glad to hear what

transpired

on your mission but let's go away from

the multitudes

away from the crowds let's go back to a

quiet place

a solitary place where we can be alone

together and talk about these things

this calls to mind the traditional

situation that we find throughout the

whole bible

where the traditional meeting place

between god and his prophets

god and his people is in the wilderness

and so now jesus says let's get away

from the cities away from the villages

let's go out and be alone

just among ourselves with god

and so as they try to find a solitary

place mark tells us there were many

coming and going

and the crowd was so great that the

disciples didn't even have time to eat

and so they departed to a wilderness

place

in the boat by themselves now if you

look at this they're on

probably the western shore of the sea of

galilee

and they didn't get in the boat and go

all the way across the sea

15 to 20 miles because if that were the

case the crowds would never have been

able

to make that distance in this short

period of time

and be waiting for jesus and his

disciples on the opposite shore

rather it's much more likely that the

boat was going

along the shore either to the north or

to the south

a short distance where they were just

trying to find a quiet place

but this huge crowd that had been

stirred up

not only by the reputation of jesus

but now as the disciples had gone to

each village in each city

round about huge crowds came out of

those places

to follow after the disciples as well as

jesus

so they see jesus and the disciples get

in the boat they see which direction

they're heading

they could watch them from shore and so

they're running as fast as they can

on the ground to keep up with jesus and

the disciples so that when jesus turns

and the disciples turned the boat in

towards shore

and where the people knew they would

come ashore

they beat them to it and so

they arrived before them and came

together

and jesus when he came out out of the

boat

saw this great multitude and was moved

with compassion for them let's stop

park there for just a second he wasn't

frustrated

he wasn't annoyed because what he wanted

to do

had just been interrupted by what the

mobs

wanted him to do they weren't concerned

to allow him

privacy to go away and be alone with his

disciples

they wanted him for themselves and jesus

could have said no no no

you're gonna have to make an appointment

i'm sorry i have to spend this time

with my disciples and you folks are not

invited

but instead jesus is moved

by compassion

the word that is used here in the greek

text for compassion

is only used to describe jesus

in all of the new testament

this was a compassion that

reached a level that was far

deeper than human concern

and human empathy for people

in pain but what is it

that sparked this profound compassion

in jesus he looked at this great

multitude

and he said they're like

sheep

without a shepherd

that's what he saw he saw people running

he saw people rushing he saw people

determined to get to a certain point but

they had no

idea why they were doing what they were

doing

they were working aimlessly

they were moving without any real

understood purpose

they were like sheep without a shop you

ever see a flock of sheep without a

shepherd

i'll never forget the time i was playing

golf someplace and just heard a sheep

came from the fields next door and

started running all over the fairway

interrupting the golf game

nobody could we didn't know where they

were going to go they'd go this way then

they'd go that way and one would turn in

the other direction the next group would

follow them

they were all over the place

blind it seemed aimless

sheep without a shepherd

and when jesus saw people

acting like that he wasn't angry

he felt sorry for them these

people need a shepherd

oh i love that image it goes through all

the old testament and all of the

prophecies of the coming messiah

who will be a shepherd king

who will be the good shepherd

who will be the one who lays down his

life for his sheep

and so in his compassion the good

shepherd looks at these human beings

who are acting like sheep without a

shepherd and he

will address their need immediately

so he began to teach them

you know the primary office of the

pastor

in the new testament church

is to feed the sheep did you know that

we live in a time where churches

have become so weak because people

demand that the

pastor do everything but preach

and teach but 95

of the labor of the pastor in the church

is supposed to be

preaching and teaching not called to be

a counselor

but called to be an administrator

not called to be a town leader

but his mission is to feed the sheep

and when jesus made this commission

later to peter

beside the same sea when he said do you

love me

you know i love you three times three

times jesus said if you love me

you feed your sheep

if you love me jesus said

you feed

my sheep this is not my congregation

sitting out here this is his

congregation

you're not my sheep you're his sheep

and my job is to feed you

and to feed you with food that will not

make you sick

food that will not poison you food

that will nurture you the very word

of god and so what jesus did when he has

compassion on this people

is he teaches them which we might miss

in the rest of the drama of this story

and thinking well this feeding doesn't

begin until later when he multiplies the

fish in the love now the whole time

jesus is feeding these sheep

with truth and with his word

so he began to teach them many things

and now the day was far spent

and so the disciples come to jesus and

they said well this is a deserted place

you know we're outside the city now

we're away from the villages

it's a nice grassy plain but it is

deserted here

and it's late

send them away

so they may go into the surrounding

country and villages and buy themselves

bread for they have nothing to eat

jesus it's time to call a halt to this

seminar is over you need to send them

away

so they can go into the villages before

it's too late before

all the stores are closed so then get

something to eat

jesus said you feed them

i've been feeding them here all day now

it's your turn

you feed them and once again they're

flabbergasted i mean their gas is

definitely flabbered when this when they

hear this they say

how do you expect us to feed them it

would take 200 to nora it would take a

year's salary

to buy enough bread to feed

this mob where are we going to get that

kind of money

we don't have that kind of money here

how many times have you heard that we

can't do this

we don't have what's necessary to

accomplish this task

you know i learned when i was a kid i

can't never

did anything except sit there

and say woe and alas about all the

obstacles that stand before

our mission and that's the way the

disciples

we can't do that be a whole year's

salary

but what do you have

see what you have so they checked around

and i said we got

a couple loaves of bread and a couple of

fish

okay that's all you have

you take what you have and let me bless

it

and we'll see what god does when you

give him what you have

we'll see what god does when you do what

you can do

you do what you can do you give what you

can give and then get out of the way

and watch god work i mean obviously

this text has great parallels with a

similar miracle in the old testament in

the wilderness

when the people of israel were so hungry

they wanted to go back to egypt they

were so fed up

with the manna that god had provided

supernaturally

remember god had given them bread

every day in the form of manna

and they get sick of it what is this

moses

it's manna for breakfast manna for lunch

manna for dinner if we want to have a

midnight snack

it's manna we've had smoked man a baked

man a broiled man

man of souffle we've tried everything we

can

and it's now become loathsome to us

and so now the people say what

take us back to egypt oh remember the

good days in egypt

we had leeks cucumbers

garlic onions

they forgot about the yoke that was

around their neck

they forgot about the oppression of

pharaoh

and now they're ready to sell their

citizenship in the kingdom of god

for leeks and onions and garlic

and so moses goes to god and he said god

i quit get yourself another mediator

i'm turning in my profits card right now

did i give birth to this multitude all

they do is complain

and murmur and grumble they can't wait

to tell me the next thing they don't

like about the program here

and now they're demanding

meat to eat or they're going back

god says okay they want meat to eat i'll

give them meat to eat

not for one day not for five days not

for ten days i'm going to give them so

much meat

that it will come out their noses and

they'll be

loathsome too remember that

now moses hears god say i'm going to

feed them all

and what's moses say

how in the world are you going to do

that

how can you feed all these people are

you going to kill

all of our cows are going to dry up the

sea from the fish

so that this multitude can be fed until

they're satisfied

and god being jewish answered a question

with a question

when moses said how are you going to do

this what did god say

has the arm of the lord

waxed short

do you forget who you're talking to

moses

step back and watch and you will see

if i will do what i said

that i would do

and so the disciples obeyed jesus

and they gave him the fish and the bread

and he lifted his eyes to heaven and he

prayed a simple prayer

mark doesn't tell us the words that he

prayed but in all probability

he prayed the prayer that i'm going to

read to you which was the

the common jewish prayer for meals

at that time listen to how it goes

praise be to you o lord

our god king

of the world who makes bread to come

forth from the earth

and who provides for all

that you have created

it was a prayer

praising the providence of god

we thank you lord that you have provided

for us

our daily bread what we

need beloved

every commentator in the new testament

looks at this story

which as i said is the only miracle

recorded in all four gospels

it tells not only what jesus did there

but it foreshadows

the last supper

so far i've been feeding you in a moment

he will come

and he will feed you

from his own table he will feed you the

bread

that comes down from heaven

he will feed you by himself

of himself out of his compassion

for you and when jesus feeds his people

when he's finished

there are baskets filled with

extra provisions because as he did that

day on the plane

every person's hunger

was satisfied

that's why we come

he comes to satisfy us

with the deepest hunger that we have in

our

souls

you
