Mark 8:1-9

1. The feeding of the 4,000 8:1-9 (cf. Matthew 15:32-38)

This miracle repeated the lesson of the feeding of the 5,000 for the disciples who had not learned what they should have from the former miracle (Mark 8:17-21). [Note: See E. Schuyler English, "A Neglected Miracle," Bibliotheca Sacra 126:504 (October-December 1969):300-5.]

"Mark clearly understood that there were two occasions when Jesus miraculously fed a multitude." [Note: Lane, p. 272.]
