Mark 6:30 - 7:16

Gospel of MarkSteve Gregg
In Mark 6:30 - 7:16, Jesus sends out his apostles and performs the miracle of feeding the 5,000 with just five loaves and two fish. The feeding of the 5,000 is significant in that it is recorded in all four gospels, and is associated with the tradition of the Messiah bringing bread to feed the multitudes. In his teaching, Jesus criticizes the Jewish leaders for prioritizing human traditions over the commandments of God, and emphasizes the importance of honoring and supporting parents. He also teaches that defilement comes from within, from one's heart and mind, rather than from what enters the body.
