Feeds the Five Thousand

The passage uses a narrative storytelling technique to capture the reader’s attention and enable the reader to visualize the events, as indicated in the passage.

The passage tells the events as they unfolded gradually, which maintains flow. Jesus was the central authority, as indicated in verse 30, where the apostles reported to him,[1] and in verse 39,[2] where it is indicated that Jesus directed them.

Jesus asks the disciples to go with him to a quiet place,[3] which shows that they were tired, and they needed space away from all the people. The use of the boat[4] shows that it was the common means of transport at the time.

Many people got there ahead of Jesus,[5] which shows that people adored him.

The crowd was large, but it was like a sheep without a shepherd;[6] the use of idioms expresses that Jesus was the guide and light for the people.

Jesus asks the disciples to give the people something to eat, but they say it would take more than half a year’s wage.[7]This helps emphasize that the crowd was large, and indeed, it would be expensive to feed them.

The disciples had five loaves and two fish,[8] which would not be enough to feed the large crowd of five thousand people.

The grass was green,[9] which shows that they were at a serene place; Jesus looks up to heaven[10] to signify prayer and shows that blessings come from above.
