Jesus Feeds the Multitude in Mark and John
A 600 year old style Sunday School study by J A Lapham discusses Jesus feeding the crowd across the lake, the key verse I am the bread of life, the need for rest and study, and the challenge of listeners. It links Mark 6 38 44 and 8 1 10 with John 6 35 and Ezekiel 34 11 16. The piece contrasts physical feeding with spiritual nourishment and reflects on the crowd’s response to Jesus words.
