Mk. 6: 35-44


All four gospels record this miracle of multiplication of bread. Jst before this in the palace of king Herod was a dinner party given to the senior officials of the court on the birthday of king Herod (v. 21). But Jesus’ miracle as recorded here gave good for many ordinary people. The comparison is striking so as to make the reader think ‘who really is the king of the people!’
