152:2.1 [[Jesus]] continued to [[teach]] [[the people]] by day while he instructed [[the apostles]] and [[evangelists]] at night. On Friday he [[declared]] a furlough of one week that all his followers might go [[home]] or to their [[friends]] for a few days before [[preparing]] to go up to [[Jerusalem]] for the [[Passover]]. But more than one half of his [[disciples]] refused to leave him, and [[the multitude]] was daily increasing in size, so much so that [[David Zebedee]] [[desired]] to [[establish]] a new encampment, but [[Jesus]] refused [[consent]]. [[The Master]] had so little [[rest]] over the [[Sabbath]] that on Sunday morning, March 27, he sought to get away from [[the people]]. Some of the [[evangelists]] were left to talk to [[the multitude]] while [[Jesus]] and [[the twelve]] [[planned]] to [[escape]], unnoticed, to the [[opposite]] shore of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wikiSea_of_Galilee lake], where they [[proposed]] to obtain much needed [[rest]] in a [[beautiful]] [[park]] south of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida#Bethsaida_Julias Bethsaida-Julias]. This region was a [[favorite]] [[Vacation|resort]]ing place for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] folks; they were all familiar with these [[parks]] on the eastern shore.

152:2.2 But [[the people]] would not have it so. They saw the direction taken by [[Jesus]]' boat, and hiring every craft available, they started out in pursuit. Those who could not obtain boats fared forth on foot to walk around the upper end of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_of_Galilee the lake].

152:2.3 By late afternoon more than a thousand [[persons]] had located [[the Master]] in one of the [[parks]], and he [[spoke]] to them briefly, being followed by [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]]. Many of these people had brought [[food]] with them, and after eating the evening meal, they gathered about in small [[groups]] while [[Jesus]]' [[apostles]] and [[disciples]] taught them.

152:2.4 Monday afternoon [[the multitude]] had increased to more than three thousand. And still—way into the evening—[[the people]] continued to flock in, bringing all [[manner]] of [[sick]] folks with them. Hundreds of interested [[persons]] had made their [[plans]] to stop over at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capernaum Capernaum] to see and hear [[Jesus]] on their way to the [[Passover]], and they simply refused to be [[disappointed]]. By Wednesday noon about five thousand [[men]], [[women]], and [[children]] were assembled here in this [[park]] to the south of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida#Bethsaida_Julias Bethsaida-Julias]. The [[weather]] was pleasant, it being near the end of the rainy season in this locality.

152:2.5 [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]] had [[provided]] a three days' supply of [[food]] for [[Jesus]] and [[the twelve]], which was in the [[custody]] of the Mark lad, their boy of all chores. By afternoon of this, the third day for almost half of this multitude, the [[food]] the people had brought with them was nearly [[exhausted]]. [[David Zebedee]] had no [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tent_city tented city] here to feed and [[accommodate]] the crowds. Neither had [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]] made [[food]] [[provision]] for such a multitude. But [[the people]], even though they were [[hungry]], would not go away. It was being [[quietly]] whispered about that [[Jesus]], desiring to avoid [[trouble]] with both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herod_Antipas Herod] and the [[Jerusalem]] [[leaders]], had [[chosen]] this [[quiet]] spot outside the [[jurisdiction]] of all his enemies as the proper place to be [[crown]]ed [[king]]. The [[enthusiasm]] of [[the people]] was rising every hour. Not a [[word]] was said to [[Jesus]], though, of course, he knew all that was going on. Even [[the twelve]] [[apostles]] were still tainted with such notions, and especially the younger [[evangelists]]. [[The apostles]] who [[favored]] this attempt to [[proclaim]] [[Jesus]] [[king]] were [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], [[John, the Apostle|John]], [[Simon Zelotes]], and [[Judas Iscariot]]. Those [[opposing]] the [[plan]] were [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], [[James, the Apostle|James]], [[Nathaniel]], and [[Thomas, the Apostle|Thomas]]. [[Matthew, the Apostle|Matthew]], [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], and the [[Alpheus twins]] were noncommittal. The ringleader of this [[Conspiracy|plot]] to make him [[king]] was Joab, one of the young [[evangelists]].

152:2.6 This was the [[stage]] setting about five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, when [[Jesus]] asked [[James Alpheus]] to summon [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]]. Said [[Jesus]]: " What shall we do with [[the multitude]]? They have been with us now [[three]] days, and many of them are [[hungry]]. They have no [[food]]. " [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]] and [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] exchanged glances, and then Philip answered: " Master, you should send these people away so that they may go to the villages around about and buy themselves [[food]]. "[https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_john#Chapter_6] And [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], fearing the [[materialization]] of the [[king]] plot, quickly joined with [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], saying: " Yes, Master, I [[think]] it best that you dismiss [[the multitude]] so that they may go their way and buy [[food]] while you [[secure]] [[rest]] for a [[season]]. " By this time others of [[the twelve]] had joined the [[conference]]. Then said [[Jesus]]: " But I do not [[desire]] to send them away [[hungry]]; can you not feed them? " This was too much for [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], and he [[spoke]] right up: " Master, in this [[Rural|country]] place where can we buy bread for this multitude? Two hundred [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denarii denarii] worth would not be enough for lunch. "

152:2.7 Before [[the apostles]] had an [[opportunity]] to [[express]] themselves, [[Jesus]] turned to [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]], saying: " I do not want to send these people away. Here they are, like sheep without a shepherd. I would like to feed them. What [[food]] have we with us? " While [[Philip, the Apostle|Philip]] was conversing with [[Matthew, the Apostle|Matthew]] and [[James and Judas, the Apostles|Judas]], [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] sought out the Mark lad to ascertain how much was left of their store of [[provisions]]. He returned to [[Jesus]], saying: " The lad has left only five barley loaves and two dried fishes "—and [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] promptly added, " We have yet to eat this evening.
