Feeding The 5,000

Thousands followed Jesus to the far side of the Sea of Galilee to hear him teach and to seek his healing. As the day drew to a close, Jesus urged his disciples to feed the masses. How? One boy had five barley loaves and two fish. Jesus took them, miraculously multiplied them, and satisfied the hunger of all who were there. Seeing that he was the Prophet like Moses, the people tried to make him their Messiah-King by force, but Jesus withdrew. His true mission would not be hijacked by others' wishes and demands.
