The Seeds of 5K Faith
The feeding of the 5,000 is one the most popular stories in the Bible. It’s a story we know very well. And in the writing of John’s gospel, we have to assume it’s a story that John’s readers knew very well, because it is the only miracle, besides the Resurrection, recorded in all four Gospels.

Prepare for the King, pt. 1 (Matthew 3:1-4)
All four gospels record the ministry of John the Baptist from their own unique perspective according to their purpose. Luke, alone, includes the narrative of his birth. But all three synoptics (Matthew, Mark, Luke) all include this initial phase of John’s ministry in the wilderness. The apostle John, written much later, covers this same period, but emphasizes the Baptist’s role as witness to the Messiah and alone announces Him as “The Lamb that takes away the sin of the world.†Luke is written to present an accurate historical account, so he fills in many of the details left out by Matthew and in this sense is more helpful from a historical point of view. However, Luke and Matthew’s purposes are different. Matthew’s goal is to present Jesus Christ as King, the King the prophets looked forward to and the people should have been expecting. Matthew is, in this sense, more interested in the message than the details. Thus, with little introduction John the Baptist explodes onto the scene of Matthew’s gospel, in order to accentuate, with all its force, the message by which the way for the King would be prepared: “Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.â€
