Hey, everybody, I'm Matt. This is the 10 minute Bible hour podcast and we are picking up where we left off last time around

Which is Matthew chapter 15 looking at the feeding of the 4,000 which is very interesting miracle

That is obviously going to have a lot of parallels with the feeding of the 5,000 which happened

That many pages ago. It's just right there in the last chapter and either Matthew is

Stuttering and is overstacking similar events for no reason whatsoever or what he's doing here and including these two miracles

So tightly next to each other is in keeping with the care and crafting

He's demonstrated in the rest of the document and there is a point to it narratively and theologically

It's the second one. It's on purpose. It's really good. That's what we're gonna talk about right now

Jeff play music and then let's get back into it

The disciples then who are still in intensive training mode at this point are not tracking with this

They're not getting that this is the long-term plan. So Jesus is just gonna walk them through the exact same

Paces as last time. How many loathes do you have? Jesus asked seven? They replied and a few small fish. All right

Let's bounce back over here to 14 and just come pair notes

Matthew chapter 14 15 this is back over at Galilee stock with all Jewish people is evening approached the disciples came to him

Jesus and said this is a remote place and it's already getting late

Send the crowds away so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food

Jesus replied, I don't need to go away. You give them something to eat

We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish. They answered bring them here to me. He said

So at Galilee stock in chapter 14 for just the Jewish people

We get the five loaves and we have two fish and that feeds five thousand people the Jewish people

over here at decapolis stock

We have seven loaves. So we have a little bit more bread now and a few small fish
