Jesus’ Seven Signs in John (4)

Jesus’ Seven Signs in John (4) | Ernie's Musings

And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased. (John 6:2)

The synoptic Gospel writers also recorded this fourth miracle selected by John. So impressive was this miracle, that the others recorded a second very much like it. Just as when Jesus turned the water into wine, Jesus took something simple and multiplied it into more than enough. I am talking about the time that Jesus took five barley loaves and two small fish and turned it into enough fish and chips to feed a crowd of over 5000 – and that was just counting men.
