Feeding of the 5,000MMLJ

The only miracle (besides the resurrection) found in all four Gospels.

Matthew(du leser)

13When Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there by boat to a deserted place, to be alone. But the crowds heard of it and followed him on foot from the towns.

14When he came ashore, he saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.

15As evening drew on, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves."

16But Jesus said to them, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat."

17"We have nothing here," they said, "except five loaves and two fish."

18"Bring them here to me," he said.

19He ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, gave thanks, and broke the loaves. He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

20They all ate and were satisfied, and they gathered up twelve baskets full of the leftover pieces.

21Those who ate numbered about five thousand men, besides women and children.

MarkMark 6:30-44

30The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught.

31He said to them, "Come away by yourselves to a solitary place and rest a while." For many were coming and going, and they had no chance even to eat.

32So they went off in the boat to a solitary place by themselves.

33But many saw them leaving and recognized them, and they ran there on foot from all the towns and arrived ahead of them.

34When Jesus came ashore, he saw the large crowd and had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began to teach them many things.

35When it was already late, his disciples came to him and said, "This place is deserted, and it is already late.

36Send them away so they can go to the surrounding farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat."

37But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "Are we to go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?"

38He said to them, "How many loaves do you have? Go and see." When they had found out, they said, "Five, and two fish."

39Then he directed them to have everyone recline in groups on the green grass.

40So they sat down in groups of hundreds and of fifties.

41Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them, then broke the loaves. He kept giving them to his disciples to set before the people, and he divided the two fish among them all.

42They all ate and were satisfied,

43and they picked up twelve baskets full of broken pieces of bread and fish.

44Those who had eaten the loaves were five thousand men.

LukeLuke 9:10-17

10When the apostles returned, they told him everything they had done. Then he took them with him and withdrew privately to a town called Bethsaida.

11But the crowds found out and followed him. He welcomed them, spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.

12Late in the day the Twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away, so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and food, because we are here in a deserted place."

13But he said to them, "You give them something to eat." They answered, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish — unless we go and buy food for all these people."

14There were about five thousand men. He said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty."

15They did so, and had them all sit down.

16Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, blessed them, broke them, and kept giving them to the disciples to set before the crowd.

17They all ate and were satisfied, and the pieces left over were picked up — twelve baskets full.

JohnJohn 6:1-15

1After this, Jesus crossed to the far side of the Sea of Galilee, also called the Sea of Tiberias.

2A large crowd followed him, because they had seen the signs he performed on those who were sick.

3Jesus went up on the mountain and sat down there with his disciples.

4The Passover, the festival of the Jews, was near.

5When Jesus looked up and saw the great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread for these people to eat?"

6He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he was about to do.

7Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii worth of bread would not be enough for each of them to get even a little."

8One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, said to him,

9"There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what is that among so many?"

10Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." There was plenty of grass in that place, so the men sat down, about five thousand of them.

11Then Jesus took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed them to those who were seated; he did the same with the fish, as much as they wanted.

12When they had eaten their fill, he said to his disciples, "Gather up the leftover pieces, so that nothing is wasted."

13So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with the pieces left over from the five barley loaves after the people had eaten.

14When the people saw the sign he had performed, they said, "This truly is the Prophet who is to come into the world."

15Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and take him by force to make him king, withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

Jesus Walks on the WaterMMJ

Only Matthew includes the story of Peter walking on water.

Matthew(du leser)

22Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.

23After sending them away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,

24while the boat was already a long way from land, battered by the waves, for the wind was against them.

25In the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.

26When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified. "It's a ghost!" they said, and they cried out in fear.

27But at once Jesus spoke to them: "Take heart, it is I. Do not be afraid."

28Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water."

29"Come," he said. So Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came to Jesus.

30But when he saw how strong the wind was, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me!"

31At once Jesus reached out his hand and caught hold of him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"

32And when they had climbed into the boat, the wind died down.

33Then those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."

MarkMark 6:45-52

45Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and cross over ahead of him toward Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd.

46After saying goodbye to them, he went up on the mountain to pray.

47When evening came, the boat was out in the middle of the sea, and he was alone on land.

48He saw them straining at the oars, for the wind was against them. About the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea, and he meant to pass by them.

49But when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought he was a ghost and cried out,

50for they all saw him and were terrified. But he spoke to them at once: "Take courage! It is I. Do not be afraid."

51Then he climbed into the boat with them, and the wind died down. And they were completely astounded within themselves,

52for they had not understood about the loaves; their hearts were hardened.

JohnJohn 6:16-21

16When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea,

17got into a boat, and set off across the sea toward Capernaum. It was already dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

18A strong wind was blowing, and the sea grew rough.

19When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were afraid.

20But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid."

21Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.

and he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist. He has been raised from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in him."
For Herod had arrested John, bound him, and put him in prison because of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip,
since John had been telling him, "It is not lawful for you to have her."
Herod wanted to kill him, but he was afraid of the crowd, because they regarded John as a prophet.
On Herod's birthday the daughter of Herodias danced before the guests and pleased Herod so much
that he swore an oath to give her whatever she asked.
Prompted by her mother, she said, "Give me the head of John the Baptist here on a platter."
The king was distressed, but because of his oaths and his guests he ordered that it be given to her.
He sent word and had John beheaded in the prison.
His head was brought in on a platter and given to the girl, and she took it to her mother.
Then John's disciples came, took the body, and buried him; and they went and told Jesus.
When Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there by boat to a deserted place, to be alone. But the crowds heard of it and followed him on foot from the towns.
When he came ashore, he saw a large crowd, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick.
As evening drew on, the disciples came to him and said, "This is a deserted place, and the hour is already late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy food for themselves."
"We have nothing here," they said, "except five loaves and two fish."
"Bring them here to me," he said.
He ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Then he took the five loaves and the two fish, looked up to heaven, gave thanks, and broke the loaves. He gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
They all ate and were satisfied, and they gathered up twelve baskets full of the leftover pieces.
Those who ate numbered about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds.
After sending them away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone,
while the boat was already a long way from land, battered by the waves, for the wind was against them.
When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified. "It's a ghost!" they said, and they cried out in fear.
But at once Jesus spoke to them: "Take heart, it is I. Do not be afraid."
Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water."
"Come," he said. So Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water, and came to Jesus.
But when he saw how strong the wind was, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me!"
At once Jesus reached out his hand and caught hold of him. "You of little faith," he said, "why did you doubt?"
And when they had climbed into the boat, the wind died down.
Then those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.
And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent word throughout the whole surrounding region, and people brought him all who were sick.
They begged him to let them merely touch the fringe of his cloak, and all who touched it were healed.
