LESSON-4

ANDREW Jesus feeds 5000 people

Many religious leaders called Pharisees told lies about Jesus. Some even tried to kill him. They didnt believe that He was Gods son. They did not accept him even though He did miracles which proved he is Gods son. One day Jesus crossed the Sea of Galilee. Perhaps He wanted a little break from the crowd, which always gathered about Him. But the crowds soon found Him. They knew Jesus did great miracles. They wanted to be with Him. Jesus led His disciples to a deserted mountain spot where He sat, teaching. More and more people kept coming. Soon it was the suppertime. Everybody must have been hungry. Jesus looked at the crowd. Where shall we buy bread that these may eat? He asked Philip. There were no food stores around .Philip answered him eight month of wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite! Another disciple, Andrew (Simon Peters brother) said to Jesus: there is a lad here who has five barley loaves and two small fishes, but how far will they go among so many. Jesus said, Make the people sit down. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand! That didnt even include the women and the children who were there also. Next, Jesus then took the loaves gave thanks to God and asked Him to bless the food, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. Thats when people saw the miracle Jesus did. Each person ate all he wanted. Yet the loaves and the fishes werent used up. After everybody was fed, there was still a lot of bread and fish left over. Gather up the fragments so that nothing is lost, Jesus told the disciples. They filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten. That day, Jesus fed over 5000 people with a little boys lunch. When ordinary people saw these signs, they werent angry like the Pharisees. Instead they said, This is truly the prophet who is to come into the world.
