Being With Jesus – Part 6
John 6 & Mark 6 – March 20th, 2022
“Save The Scraps”
John 6; Mark 6
John 6:12-13 (NLT)
12.. After everyone was full, Jesus told his disciples, “Now gather the leftovers, so that nothing is wasted.”
13. So they picked up the pieces and filled twelve baskets with scraps left by the people who had eaten from the five barley loaves.
Mark 6:42-52 (NKJV)
42. So they all ate and were filled.
43. And they took up twelve baskets full of fragments and of the fish.
44. Now those who had eaten the loaves were about five thousand men.
45. Immediately He made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, to Bethsaida, while He sent the multitude away.
46. And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.
47. Now when evening came, the boat was in the middle of the sea; and He was alone on the land.
48. Then He saw them straining at rowing, for the wind was against them. Now about the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea, and would have passed them by.
49. And when they saw Him walking on the sea, they supposed it was a ghost, and cried out;
50. for they all saw Him and were troubled. But immediately He talked with them and said to them, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.”
51. Then He went up into the boat to them, and the wind ceased. And they were greatly amazed in themselves beyond measure, and marveled.
52. For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.

2. Mark 6:52 (NKJV)
52. For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.
(NLT)
52. for they still didn’t understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves. Their hearts were too hard to take it in.
