(ESV)\n\n        Aside from Jesus' resurrection, the only miracle recorded in\n   all four Gospels is the Feeding of the 5,000.  Although Saint\n   John's Gospel does not mention this miracle taking place after\n   John the Baptizer was executed, the other three accounts speak of\n   Jesus hearing this news and desiring to retreat to a quiet place.\n   This was not to be.\n\n        After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea\n        of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias.  And a large\n        crowd was following him, because they saw the signs\n        that he was doing on the sick.  Jesus went up on the\n        mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples.\n        Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.\n\n\n        The crowds followed.  Some wanted to hear Jesus and His\n   teaching about the Kingdom of God.  They desired to learn more of\n   God's rich grace and mercy as revealed by His Son.  Many others\n   simply were looking for entertainment, watching Jesus perform\n   healing miracles.\n\n        For a few moments, Jesus and His disciples sat on the\n   mountainside.  Maybe they were silent, thinking of John's death,\n   maybe they talked of the events happening around Jerusalem and\n   Judea.  Possibly their conversation was about the Passover, the\n   feast which commemorates the Exodus from Egypt and the display of\n   God's power as He kept the children of Israel safe in the\n   wilderness.\n\n        This week we will seek guidance from this miracle to\n   strengthen our faith and to prepare us for the coming\n   commemoration of Jesus' death and resurrection.\n\n        May our Lord open our hearts and minds to learn more of His\n   grace and mercy.  Amen.\n       ____________________\n       1. Matthew 6:33\n       2.
