I. Mk 634-44 Feeding Five Thousand A.
Sheep/Shepherd, green grass, rows of
fifties/hundreds, Jewish men B. 12 Baskets
plus left-overs Jesus is food or bread that
is more than enough for all Jews. How much
more? II. Mk 645-52 Walking on Water and Mk 8
Feeding Four Thousand A. Mark shows Jesus
divinity by telling us of Jesus walking on the
water. Jesus is not God BECAUSE he walks on
water. Jesus walks on water because he is God.
B. Jesus is God who Deals and Heals w/ Jews and
Gentiles and the Disciples dont get it. 1.
Jesus made them get in the boat. 2. They row
until the 4th watch of the night and still
they dont get to Bethsaida, only two miles
away. 3. Mark says the reason the disciples
are astounded is because they did not understand
the feeding of the 5,000. Whats the
connection? Jesus IS the source of life (bread)
for both Jews and Gentiles.

III. Mk 7 Teaching the Disciples, Healing
Gentiles and Mk 81-10 Feeding Four Thousand 1.
First, Jesus teaches the disciples about the
elders teaching so that they will be able
to go on mission to the Gentiles a. the word of
God is more important than the tradition of the
elders. Remember Qorban? b. What goes into a
man, food, does not make him impure, but
what comes out of a man makes him impure. How
does this help the disciples? 2.
Jesus goes to Tyre and heals the daughter of the
Syro-Phonecian Woman (1) It is not right to
give the food of the children to the dogs is a
first century idiom or manner of
speaking. (2) Jesus uses this in order to give
the woman the opportunity to express her
faith. By using a well known idiom he set her up
for success in gaining his help. c. Jesus
heals a Deaf man in Sidon 4,000 people I.e.
gt men
