Interpreting The Feeding Of The Five Thousand
The purpose of this people is examining a single story in one gospel (Mark 6 30-44, Luke 9: 12-17). In the New Testament there are several passages where Jesus is feeding a multitude of people John 6:1-14 which records the Feeding of the Five Thousand. is also known as the” Miracle of the five loaves and two fish” Gospel of John reports that five barley loaves and two small fish supplied by a boy were used by Jesus to feed a multitude. This story, which only appears in the Gospels of Mark and Mathew, is also known as the miracle of the seven loaves and fishes, as the Gospel of Matthew 15: 34-36 refers to seven loaves and few small fish used by Jesus to feed a multitude. According to the Gospels, a large crowd had gathered …show more content…
Jesus showed a lot of compassionate for the teaching and for the people. Jesus was aware that his followers was on foot and was in the need of food, He was interested in their well-being he ordered his disciples to get food to feed people. Jesus also was testing his disciples to see if he could trust them to lead his people and take care of his people when he was to leave for the mountains and pray.. Disciples assisted Jesus with crowd control. Disciples demonstrated their willingness to serve but they still saw things through physical eyes rather than spiritual eyes. In the stories there are no bystanders everyone had an active part. Early in Jesus ministry he was spreading the good news (the gospel) Jesus loved spreading the word to his followers and he loved them and they loved him also. They were so fascinated about him being there and his teachings they forgot about …show more content…
Today we do it in brick and mortar buildings not a grassy meadow. We go to the Shepard as lost sheep’s need guidance get feed by the word that is put in front of us. Like Jesus we are taught and trained to minister to each other like Jesus taught his disciple’s to do so. It is our duty to bring people to Jesus and teach them about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Just like what Jesus did he fed the hungry in the physical and the spiritual sense. In the world today that is still going on today with missionary workers going through different parts of the world feeding the people physically with food and the spiritually with the

    Jesus calls upon Matthew to have dinner with him and they dine together with his disciples and other sinners. When the Pharisees see this they question the disciples because it is known if one dines with a sinner, they also become impure. I found this quite interesting because I always thought religion was centered on love, however, the Pharisees seemed to have a lot of hatred against others. When Jesus heard them he stated that he was there to help those who were sick become well. From this story, Matthew’s audience learns that everyone is worth…

    His understanding of the ‘’mission’’ in Christianity differs to a greater extend with the understanding of Paul and Mathew. While Mathew sees the mission in universal perspective, Luke sees it as a duty to the disciples and the followers of Jesus Christ. For this reason, his work is a direct replacement of Mathew’s ‘’great commission.’’ Another major contradiction between Luke and Mathew is that the former did not only write the gospel of Jesus, but also wrote the Acts of the Apostles and that the latter is Jewish-Christian, hence bringing the difference in interpretation of the mission in Christianity between the two authors. However, it is equally important to appreciate the fact that the authors show some similarities in their writings and that they wrote their books in the same period despite the differences seen in the messages and the texts. Luke like Paul came to rescue people from the confusion they had about their identity. His writing seeks to give direction to the Christians who had lost direction and were wondering if Christianity was an upcoming religion or if it was a continuation of the church left by Jesus Christ. In his writing, Luke emphasizes three things, the Holy Spirit, forgiveness, and forgiveness[iv]. He also makes the poor the center and the predominant heading of his book. Through this he mentions, association that Jesus…

    Jesus was extremely committed and he wanted the same commitment from the disciples in return. He wanted them to trust him with every move he made as he took their lives and moulded them into the accordance of his will. A disciple should expect trials and difficulties in this life. Jesus has said a true disciple should not be surprised if he or she is treated poorly. The character of a true discipleship is repentance and occupation, being called to preach, control, example and modesty.…
