Read Mark (Mt 14.13-21; Lk 9.10-17; Jn 6.1-13) Feeding the 5,000.
In verse 34 sheep without a shepherd is a proverbial saying (Num 27.17; 1 Kings 22.17; Ezek 34.5) which here suggests both John's death and Herod's ineptitude.
Mark does not provide the content of Jesus' teaching.
In verse 37 the disciples again misperceive (see sidebar on previous page).
In verse 41 the description, echoing Elisha's miracle (2 Kings 4.42-44),
provides no hint that the people shared their own food.
