Reading for the 23rd

This week we start into chapter 8 with a look at the feeding of the 4000. Yes the 4000. We have already read the feeding of the 5000. This is another miracle account. Look for the differences:

Mark 8:1-10, New Revised Standard Version
Mark 8:1-10, The Message

Despite the temptation just to preach the sermon of the feeding of the 5000 again just substituting 4 for 5, I will be looking at the differences and wondering why Mark in his brevity decided to include a nearly identical account of something we already heard.

Let me know what you think!

peace,
