John 6:1 - 6:21

Gospel of JohnSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explains the events of John 6:1-21, where Jesus performs the miracle of feeding the 5,000 with only two loaves of bread and two fish. Gregg notes that this miracle took place after a discourse where Jesus claimed to be the Son of God, and that the crowd's expectations of Jesus as the messiah were at their peak. He also describes the historical context of the zealot movement and its relationship to messianic expectations, which likely influenced the crowd's responses to Jesus. Finally, Gregg points out how the surplus of food left over after the miracle served as evidence to the crowd that Jesus was indeed a prophetic figure.
