Episode 168 - The Miraculous Feeding of a Crowd in John’s Gospel” (Part 1)

Written By Frank Spina

Episode Summary

This account is found in John 6.  Even though a story in which Jesus feeds a large crowd with meager sources occurs in all four Gospels, the account John is unique.  For example, in this story Jesus distributes the bread and fish himself.  In the other Gospels, Jesus has his disciples do this.  Plus, in this story the crowd seems more interested in a miracle that involves a free lunch than a sign indicative of Jesus’ ultimate mission.   John 6 is parallel to John 4.  In John 4, Jesus offers “living water” that will quench religious thirst for good.  In John 6, Jesus offers “true bread” that will satisfy religious hunger for good.
