Mark 6:30-44
Key Verse 6:37a “But he answered, ‘You give them something to eat.’”
- Why were the disciples called “apostles”? (30) What did they report to Jesus? (30; cf. Luke 10:17) Where did Jesus plan to take them and why? (31)
- In what sense was the crowd like sheep without a shepherd? (34) What does it mean that Jesus had compassion on them? What does the fact that Jesus began teaching them show us about their real need?
- What does the disciples’ reasonable suggestion tell us about their attitude toward the crowd? (35-36) How was Jesus training his disciples by commanding them, “You give them something to eat”? (37a)
- How did the disciples react to the seemingly impossible command? (37b) Why did Jesus tell them to go and see how many loaves they had? (38)
- How did Jesus work with his disciples? (39-41) What did Jesus want his disciples to learn about himself? (cf. John 6:35) What principle can we learn about doing God’s work?
