John 6:1-15; Matthew 14:13-21; Mark 6:30-40; Luke 9:10-17 The feeding of the 5,000 men (plus women and children, so more likely at least 15,000 people) is the only specific miracle recorded in all four gospel accounts other than Christ's resurrection! It was a spectacular miracle that produced a peak in the peoples' interest in Jesus, even causing them to want to crown Him king, but for the wrong reasons. This is why after we discuss Part I of this lesson, "Jesus Feeds the Multitude," we then look at Part II, "Jesus Flees the Multitude". Many spiritual lessons were taught the disciples of Christ through this miracle; they also apply to us today! A "must" listen message!
