Biblical Studies Press, 2005) ### The Feeding of the Five Thousand [[Matthew 14]], [[Mark 06]], [[Luke 09]] **Principle**: Jesus is enough. [[#Verse 01.]] After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee (also called the Sea of Tiberias). [[#Verse 02.]] A large crowd was following him because they were observing the miraculous signs he was performing on the sick.  [[#Verse 03.]] So Jesus went on up the mountainside and sat down there with his disciples.  [[#Verse 04.]] (Now the Jewish Feast of the Passover was near.) [[#Verse 05.]] Then Jesus, when he looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming to him, said to Philip, “Where can we buy bread so that these people may eat?”  [[#Verse 06.]] (Now Jesus said this to test him, for he knew what he was going to do.) [[#Verse 07.]] Philip replied, “200 silver coins worth of bread would not be enough for them, for each one to get a little.”  [[#Verse 08.]] One of Jesus’ disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, said to him,  [[#Verse 09.]] “Here is a boy who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what good are these for so many people?” [[#Verse 10.]] Jesus said, “Have the people sit down.” (Now there was a lot of grass in that place.) So the mensat down, about 5,000 in number.  [[#Verse 11.]] Then Jesus took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed the bread to those who were seated. He then did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.  [[#Verse 12.]] When they were all satisfied, Jesus said to his disciples, “Gather up the broken pieces that are left over, so that nothing is wasted.”  [[#Verse 13.]] So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with broken pieces from the five barley loaves left over by the people who had eaten. [[#Verse 14.]] Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly _the Prophet_ _who is to come into the world_.”  [[#Verse 15.]] Then Jesus, because he knew they were going to come and seize him by force to make him king, withdrew again up the mountainside alone. ### Walking on Water [[Matthew 14]], [[Mark 06]] **Principle**: Nothing keeps Jesus from getting to us. [[#Verse 16.]] Now when evening came, his disciples went down to the lake,  [[#Verse 17.]] got into a boat, and started to cross the lake to Capernaum. (It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.)  [[#Verse 18.]] By now a strong wind was blowing and the sea was getting rough.  [[#Verse 19.]] Then, when they had rowed about three or four miles, they caught sight of Jesus walking on the lake, approaching the boat, and they were frightened.  [[#Verse 20.]] But he said to them, “It is I. Do not be afraid.”  [[#Verse 21.]] Then they wanted to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat came to the land where they had been heading. [[#Verse 22.]] The next day the crowd that remained on the other side of the lake realized that only one small boat had been there, and that Jesus had not boarded it with his disciples, but that his disciples had gone away alone.  [[#Verse 23.]] Other boats from Tiberias came to shore near the place where they had eaten the bread after the Lord had given thanks.  [[#Verse 24.]] So when the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and came to Capernaum looking for Jesus. ### Jesus’ Discourse About the Bread of Life **Principle**: Jesus is the miracle we can receive daily. He gives us true life. [[#Verse 25.]] When they found him on the other side of the lake, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you get here?”  [[#Verse 26.]] Jesus replied, “I tell you the solemn truth,you are looking for me not because you saw miraculous signs, but because you ate all the loaves of bread you wanted.  [[#Verse 27.]] Do not work for the food that disappears, but for the food that remains to eternal life—the food which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.” [[#Verse 28.]] So then they said to him, “What must we do to accomplish the deeds God requires?”  [[#Verse 29.]] Jesus replied, “This is the deed God requires—to believe in the one whom he sent.”  [[#Verse 30.]] So they said to him, “Then what miraculous sign will you perform, so that we may see it and believe you? What will you do?  [[#Verse 31.]] Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, ‘**_He gave them bread from heaven to eat_**.’” [[Psalm 78]] [[#Verse 32.]] Then Jesus told them, “I tell you the solemn truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but my Father is giving you the true bread from heaven.  [[#Verse 33.]] For the bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”  [[#Verse 34.]] So they said to him, “Sir, give us this bread all the time!” [[#Verse 35.]] Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty. [[Exodus 03]] [[#Verse 36.]] But I told you that you have seen me and still do not believe.  [[#Verse 37.]] Everyone whom the Father gives me will come to me, and the one who comes to me I will never send away.  [[#Verse 38.]] For I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of the one who sent me.  [[#Verse 39.]] Now this is the will of the one who sent me—that I should not lose one person of every one he has given me, but raise them all up at the last day.  [[#Verse 40.]] For this is the will of my Father—for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.” [[#Verse 41.]] Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began complaining about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven,”  [[#Verse 42.]] and they said, “Isn’t this Jesus the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”  [[#Verse 43.]] Jesus replied,“Do not complain about me to one another.  [[#Verse 44.]] No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.  [[#Verse 45.]] It is written in the prophets, ‘**_And they will all be taught by God_**.’ Everyone who hears and learns from the Father comes to me. [[Isaiah 54]] [[#Verse 46.]] (Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one who is from God—he has seen the Father.)  [[#Verse 47.]] I tell you the solemn truth, the one who believes has eternal life.  [[#Verse 48.]] I am the bread of life.  [[#Verse 49.]] Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.  [[#Verse 50.]] This is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a personmay eat from it and not die.  [[#Verse 51.]] I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.” [[#Verse 52.]] Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another, “How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”  [[#Verse 53.]] Jesus said to them, “I tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.  [[#Verse 54.]] The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. [[#Verse 55]] For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.  [[#Verse 56.]] The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him. [[#Verse 57.]] Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumesme will live because of me.  [[#Verse 58.]] This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors ate, but then later died. The one who eatsthis bread will live forever.” ### Many Followers Depart **Principle**: Jesus requires everything. All or nothing. [[#Verse 59.]] Jesus said these things while he was teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. [[#Verse 60.]] Then many of his disciples, when they heard these things, said, “This is a difficult saying! Who can understand it?” [[#Verse 61.]] When Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining about this, he said to them, “Does this cause you to be offended?  [[#Verse 62.]] Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before? [[#Verse 63.]] The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.  [[#Verse 64.]] But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had already known from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) [[#Verse 65.]] So Jesus added, “Because of this I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has allowed him to come.” ### Peter’s Confession **Principle**: Trust Jesus. [[#Verse 66.]] After this many of his disciples quit following him and did not accompany him any longer.  [[#Verse 67.]] So Jesus said to the twelve, “You don’t want to go away too, do you?”  [[#Verse 68.]] Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life. [[#Verse 69.]] We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God!”  [[#Verse 70.]] Jesus replied,“Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is the devil?”  [[#Verse 71.]] (Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, for Judas, one of the twelve, was going to betray him.) ## ==📖 Verse-by-Verse Commentary== ###### Overall. ###### Verse 01. ###### Verse 02. ###### Verse 03. ###### Verse 04. ###### Verse 05. ###### Verse 06. ###### Verse 07. ###### Verse 08. ###### Verse 09. ###### Verse 10. ###### Verse 11. ###### Verse 12. ###### Verse 13. ###### Verse 14. ###### Verse 15. ###### Verse 16. ###### Verse 17. ###### Verse 18. ###### Verse 19. ###### Verse 20. ###### Verse 21. ###### Verse 22. ###### Verse 23. ###### Verse 24. ###### Verse 25. ###### Verse 26. ###### Verse 27. ###### Verse 28. ###### Verse 29. ###### Verse 30. ###### Verse 31. ###### Verse 32. ###### Verse 33. ###### Verse 34. ###### Verse 35. ###### Verse 36. ###### Verse 37. ###### Verse 38. ###### Verse 39. ###### Verse 40. ###### Verse 41. ###### Verse 42. ###### Verse 43. ###### Verse 44. ###### Verse 45. ###### Verse 46. ###### Verse 47. ###### Verse 48. ###### Verse 49. ###### Verse 50. ###### Verse 51. ###### Verse 52. ###### Verse 53. ###### Verse 54. ###### Verse 55. ###### Verse 56. ###### Verse 57. ###### Verse 58. ###### Verse 59. ###### Verse 60. ###### Verse 61. ###### Verse 62. ###### Verse 63. ###### Verse 64. ###### Verse 65. ###### Verse 66. ###### Verse 67. ###### Verse 68. ###### Verse 69. ###### Verse 70. ###### Verse 71. ## 🤔 Interesting Facts / Historical and Cultural Insights - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write down things that are not straight from commentary but interesting facts that ground the text in history. %% ## 🧠 Chapter Summary - coming soon. %% PRIVATE NOTES (only I see this) Write a short paragraph (3–5 sentences) summarizing what happens in this chapter. - What is the main event or teaching? - How does this chapter fit the book’s overall story? - What stands out immediately?
