Matthew 14:22-27 **Immediately after feeding the 5,000:

Matthew 14:22-27 **Immediately after feeding the 5,000 Immediately Yeshua invited his disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he sent the crowds away. After he’d sent the crowds away, he went up on the mountain by himself to pray. By evening, he was alone there. But by now the boat was far from land, and was tossed by the waves as the wind was against them. The Source with Hebraic adaptation by Rabbi Lutton

Slide 5:

About three o’clock in the morning Yeshua went out to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they screamed in terror, “It’s a ghost!” Immediately Yeshua said, “Cheer up! I am Existence! Don’t be scared!”

Matthew 14:28-36:

Matthew 14:28-36 36 Peter said, “Lord, if it’s really you, command me to come out to you on the water!” “Come!” Yeshua said. When Peter had got out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Yeshua . But when he noticed the wind, he got scared, and began to sink. He yelled out, “Lord, save me!”

Slide 7:

Immediately Jesus reached out and grabbed him. He said, “You small faith person! Why were you uncertain?” When they got into the boat, the wind dropped. The people in the boat worshipped him. “You’re truly the Son of God!” they exclaimed.

Slide 8:

When they’d crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret . When the locals recognized Yeshua , they sent word through the surrounding region and brought along all the sick people. They urged him to let them touch the hem of his clothes. In fact, everyone who touched it was brought safely through their sickness.

Mark 6:14-16:

Mark 6:14-16 King Herod heard about this, as Jesus’ name had become well known. People were saying, “John the Baptizer has been raised from the dead, and that’s the reason why powers are at work in him.” Others said, “He’s Elijah!”

Slide 10:

Still others said, “He’s a prophet, like one of the prophets of long ago!” But when Herod heard this, he said, “Oh no! John, the person I beheaded, has been raised from the dead!”

Mark 6:17-20:

Mark 6:17-20 For Herod himself had John arrested, and had him tied up and thrown in prison. He did this because of Herodias, his brother Philip’s wife, whom he had married. For John had said to Herod, “It isn’t legal that you have your brother’s wife!”

Slide 12:

So Herodias had it in for John and wanted to kill him, but she wasn’t able to. For Herod was in awe of John, knowing that he was a righteous and holy man, and protected him. When he listened to John, he was quite puzzled, but he still liked to listen to him.

Mark 6:21-29:

Mark 6:21-29 Then an opportune time came. It was Herod’s birthday, and he was giving a party for his high officials, senior army officers, and the leading citizens of Galilee. Herodias’ daughter herself came in and danced, and she flattered Herod and the guests reclining with him for dinner.

Slide 14:

Then the king said to the young girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I’ll give it to you.” He took a strong oath and said, “Whatever you ask me, I’ll give you, as much as half my kingdom!” So she went out and asked her mother, “What should I ask for?”

Slide 15:

“The head of John the Baptizer!” her mother answered. Immediately she ran in a hurry and asked the king, “I want you to give me the head of John the Baptizer in a bowl and I want it right now!” The king was extremely upset, but he didn’t want to refuse her because of his oaths and his guests reclining for dinner.

Slide 16:

So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. The executioner went out and beheaded John in prison, and brought back his head in a bowl. He gave it to the young girl and she gave it to her mother. John’s disciples heard about it, and went off and took his body away and put it in a tomb.

Mark 6:30-44:

Mark 6:30-44 The apostles gathered around Jesus and told him everything they had done and taught. There were so many people coming and going that they didn’t even have a chance to eat, so Yeshua said, “Come with me! You need to go off by yourselves for a while and rest up.”

Slide 18:

So they went off by themselves in the ship to a deserted spot. Many people saw them leaving and realized where they were headed, so they ran there on foot from all the cities and got there before them. Upon landing, Yeshua saw a large crowd. He had compassion for them, because they were sheep without a shepherd.

Slide 19:

He started teaching them lots of things. By now it was late in the day, and his disciples went to him with the suggestion, “This is a deserted place, and it’s already getting late. Dismiss them, so they can go to the neighboring farm districts and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”

Slide 20:

But Jesus answered, “ You give them something to eat!” “What! Us!” they exclaimed. “Are we supposed to go and buy close to a year’s wages’ worth of bread and give it to them!” But Yeshua said to them in a decisive tone, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see!”

Slide 21:

When they had found out they said, “Five, plus two fish.” He ordered them to sit down for dinner in orderly groups, all set out like vegetable plots on the green grass. And they took their place for dinner in ranks like flower beds in groups of 100s and 50s. Yeshua picked up the five loaves and the two fish, and looked up to heaven.

Slide 22:

He blessed the loaves then broke up them into pieces and gave them to his disciples to serve the people. He divided up the fish among all of them. They all ate their fill. And the disciples picked up twelve wicker baskets full of leftovers: broken pieces of bread and fish. The number of the men who had eaten was 5,000.

Mark 6:42-52:

Mark 6:42-52 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the ship and go on ahead of him in the direction of Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. After he sent them away, he went off to the mountain to pray. When evening came, the ship was out in the sea, and he was alone on land. The Source with Hebraic adaptation by Rabbi Lutton

Slide 24:

He saw them straining at the oars, as there was a headwind. Just after 3 a.m. in the night, he went out in their direction, walking on the sea. He intended to go past them, but they saw him walking on the sea, and thought he was a ghost. They screamed! They all saw him and they were scared!

Slide 25:

Immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, “Be brave! I am Existence! Don’t be scared!” He climbed up into the ship with them, and the wind dropped. They were really truly very, very scared, and were beside themselves with absolute shock, as they still hadn’t grasped what had happened with the loaves – on the contrary, they were a bit thick in the head.

Mark 3:53-56:

Mark 3:53-56 When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret and anchored there. The very second they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus. They ran around through the whole neighboring district and wherever they heard that Jesus was, they carried sick people on stretchers to him.

Slide 27:

Wherever he went – villages, cities or the countryside – they put the sick people in the market places there. They begged him to let them touch the edge of his coat, and everyone who touched him was rescued and preserved.

Luke 9:1-2:

Luke 9:1-2 Jesus called the Twelve together, and gave them the power and authority to heal all demons and diseases, and he sent them out to proclaim God’s Realm and to instantly divinely heal the sick.

Luke 9:3-6:

Luke 9:3-6 He told them, “Don’t take anything for your trip – don’t take a walking stick, suitcase, food, money, change of clothes. Choose a house, and stay there until it’s time to leave that town. Now if you come across certain people who don’t treat you well, when you leave their town shake the dust off your feet to this will demonstrate that you think they are pagans!”

Slide 30:

So they set off and passed from one village to another, announcing the Good News and healing people everywhere.

Luke 6:7-9:

Luke 6:7-9 Herod the tribal ruler heard about everything that was going on. He was completely confused, because some were saying that John had been raised from the dead, and others were saying that Elijah had appeared.

Slide 32:

Still others were saying that one of the prophets of ancient times had come back to life! “But I myself had John beheaded!” Herod exclaimed. “So who’s this I’m hearing all this about?” And he tried to see him.

Luke 6:10-11:

Luke 6:10-11 When the apostles returned, they told Jesus what they had done. He took them with him and they went off by themselves to a city called Bethsaida. The crowds got to hear of it and followed. He welcomed them and spoke to them about God’s Realm, and instantly divinely healed the ones who needed healing.

Luke 6:12-17:

Luke 6:12-17 Late in the afternoon the Twelve went to him and said, “Send the crowd away! They can go off to the surrounding villages and farms and find food and somewhere to stay for the night – we’re in a remote area!” Jesus said, “ You give them something to eat!”

Slide 35:

“But we’ve only got five loaves of bread and two fish - unless we’re to buy some food!” they protested. (There were actually about 5,000 men there.) Then Jesus said to the disciples, “Get them to recline for dinner and divide them into groups of about fifty each.”

Slide 36:

They did this and everyone sat down for dinner. Jesus picked up the five loaves of bread and the two fish. He looked up to heaven, thanked God and broke them into pieces, then handed them to the disciples to serve the people. They all ate until they had had enough to eat, and then the disciples picked up 12 wicker baskets full of leftovers.

Slide 37:
