Summary
John chapter 6 is the third longest chapter in the New Testament, and as such is the case, we’re going to break it down into two episodes. As mentioned in the introduction of our last episode, John includes seven significant signs in his gospel leading up to the Last Supper. The signs show the crowds that he isn’t just a man with interesting things to say, he is, by nature, the Son of God. Today we’ll read John’s accounts of the fourth sign, where Jesus feeds 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish, and the fifth sign, where Jesus walks on water. After seeing the signs (and receiving a free meal) the crowds hunt for Jesus, who uses the opportunity to point out that they have a greater need than bread alone.
