Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The Shared Meal
(New Testament)
Mark 8
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand
8 During those days another large crowd gathered. Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said, 2 I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, because some of them have come a long distance.
4 His disciples answered, But where in this remote place can anyone get enough bread to feed them?
5 How many loaves do you have? Jesus asked.
Seven, they replied.
6 He told the crowd to sit down on the ground. When he had taken the seven loaves and given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to distribute to the people, and they did so. 7 They had a few small fish as well; he gave thanks for them also and told the disciples to distribute them. 8 The people ate and were satisfied. Afterward the disciples picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 9 About four thousand were present. After he had sent them away, 10 he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the region of Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees came and began to question Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. 12 He sighed deeply and said, Why does this generation ask for a sign? Truly I tell you, no sign will be given to it. 13 Then he left them, got back into the boat and crossed to the other side.
The Yeast of the Pharisees and Herod
14 The disciples had forgotten to bring bread, except for one loaf they had with them in the boat. 15 Be careful, Jesus warned them. Watch out for the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod.
16 They discussed this with one another and said, It is because we have no bread.
17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And dont you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?
Twelve, they replied.
20 And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?
They answered, Seven.
21 He said to them, Do you still not understand?
(End of Scripture Passage)
Ari waited patiently as the two busloads of Christian Tourists unloaded their passengers by the side of the road. Then he directed that we all sit down on a grassy embankment by the shore of the Sea of Galilee. The large number of people spread out on the grass with room to spare, and we all faced downhill towards the water. Then Ari hiked down to the shoreline, turned his back to the water and faced us, and said, "Can you hear me? I'm barely speaking above a whisper."
Instantly I knew that the flat shimmering surface of the water was acting like a huge diaphragm, which is the essential part of any microphone or loudspeaker. Everybody in our tour group received a real-life understanding of the "Sermon on the Mount" (where it was the audience on the hill, not the other way around) and "The Feeding of the Multitudes" when the arrangement and topography made it easy to distribute the bread and fish among the audience. It also explains how the people were able to hear every word of Jesus' teaching.
