The Feeding of the Five Thousand - Matthew 14:13-21 - a podcast by Rev. Gregory G. Capel, Jr.

As the somber events surrounding John the Baptist’s tragic fate unfolded, the narrative shifts to a different scene, starkly contrasting Herod’s court’s darkness. In Matthew 14:13-21, we find Jesus withdrawing to a solitary place upon hearing of John’s death. Despite his grief and need for solitude, many follow him, seeking solace and healing. This juxtaposition of despair and hope sets the stage for a remarkable demonstration of compassion and divine power as Jesus performs one of his most renowned miracles—feeding the five thousand. This miraculous event reveals Jesus’ boundless love and provision and is a profound testament to His divinity and unmatched ability to meet humanity’s deepest needs. The importance of this miracle is underscored by the fact that it is the only miracle of Jesus recorded in all four gospel records.
