Jesus blessed and fed five thousand people (Mark 6bq).

Mark 6:30-56

Key Verse 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people. He also divided the two fish among them all.

1.    [31-34] On the disciples’ returning from the mission trip, what was the situation (31a)? Then, what did Jesus said to them (31b)? Why might Jesus’ purpose be in taking time with them in a quiet place? When they got to a remote place, what did they find out (32-34aa)? Then what did Jesus begin to do (34b)? Why (34ab)?

2.    [35-38] After some time, what did the disciples said to Jesus (35-36)? What was Jesus’ answer (37a)?  Why was his answer unreasonable to them (37b)? What did Jesus tell them to do (38a)? What did they find(38b)?

3.    [39-44] What did Jesus do with them (41-42)? To do so, how were the crowd prepared (39-40)? What was the result (42-44)?

4.    [45-47] Immediately after the feeding, what did Jesus do (45-47)? Discuss why Jesus did this (Ref. John 6:15-15; Cf. Luke 9:18).

5.    [48-52] When and where did the disciples see someone walking on the sea to pass by them (48)? Why were the disciples terrified at the man (49-50a)? Then what did the man say to the disciples (50b)? As Jesus got on the boat, why remained the disciples astonished (51-52)?  Discuss what the verse 52 means.

6.    [53-56] Where did the boat land (53; Cf. v45)?  Why (Cf. 48)? As they got out of the boat, what did they see (54-55)? How did Jesus serve those people (56)?   Discuss how this crowd was different from the people of Nazareth (33, 54-55; Cf. 6:5) or Capernaum (5:21-43) and find its significance on Jesus’ compassion (34, 56b).
