  • Essay / Feeding the 5000 - 1647

    In the Gospel of Mark there is a miracle called The Feeding of the Five Thousand. In chapter 6: 34-44 and is located in the Galilean ministry of Jesus, in Mark. Jesus' Galilean ministry occurs when, after John's arrest, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the gospel (Mark 1). :14-15). "Feeding the five thousand is the only miracle of Jesus recounted in all four gospels. In the miracle, Jesus takes, breaks, and gives to the disciples. This corresponds to Jesus' actions at the Last Supper and the 'Eucharist. In this passage, Jesus goes to a deserted place to rest, at the same time he attracts a large number of people. Jesus then sees the large crowd and tells his disciples to go to the villages and villages. nearest farms to gather food for the people The disciples had only two hundred days' wages, so Jesus sent them to fetch as many loaves and two fishes. looked up to heaven and blessed them. He then broke the loaves and gave them to his disciples and also shared the two fish among them. The people were satisfied, then picked up the wicker baskets and drank from them. compassion towards people and fed them after wanting to rest (Mark 6:33-44). This corresponds to the Last Supper and the Eucharist, Jesus breaks and gives the bread to the disciples and disciples. The breaking of bread refers to the Last Supper when, Jesus said, “this is my body and it will be delivered to you.” Jesus has symbolism in the breaking of bread as he looks up to heaven and blesses the loaves. Jesus prepares his people for the Eucharist and the final banquet in heaven. This proves Jesus' connotation that the fraction refers to the bread and the body that he will give up. When fragments remain, the word fragment is used in the singular to designate the broken bread of the Eucharist (Mark 14:20). This could very well have been regularly told in a Eucharistic setting, as the manner in which Jesus breaks bread and gives thanks would be a good way to teach about the Eucharistic meal and Jesus' self-destruction at the Eucharistic meal.
