S2E6. Mark 6: Jesus Feeds 5000 – Compassion, Not Magic

Bible study on Mark 6:30–44: How did five loaves and two fish feed 5,000 — and what does it reveal about the Kingdom?In this episode, we explore an extraordinary moment in the Gospel of Mark — the feeding of the 5000. It’s a story told in all four Gospels, and for good reason. This isn’t a conjuring trick or a clever illusion — it’s the Kingdom of God breaking into history.Join us as we walk through this miracle: the compassion of Christ for the crowd, the disciples’ doubts, and the God who still multiplies what little we offer Him. How this meal on the hillside points back to Moses and manna in the wilderness, and forward to the Last Supper and the great banquet still to come.If you’ve ever wondered how five loaves and two fish could feed a multitude — this episode is for you.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro: The only miracle in all four Gospels02:40 – Mark 6:30–44 — scene by scene08:10 – Jesus’ compassion: “They were like sheep…”13:30 – Disciples’ doubt vs. divine provision19:00 – Echoes of manna & preview of the Eucharist24:15 – Craig Blomberg & R.C.
