45 Immediately he made his disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, to Bethsaida, while he dismissed the crowd. 46 After saying farewell to them, he went up on the mountain to pray. 47 When evening came, the boat was out on the sea, and he was alone on the land. 48 When he saw that they were straining at the oars against
Jesus’ response is about believing rather than working. Verses 30-33: The crowd asks for a sign from Jesus so they can believe. Jesus comes back with a proclamation about “My Father” and bread that gives life. Verses 34-35: The crowd demands (rather than asks for) the bread. Jesus claims to be the bread ( egō eimi the bread of life).
Mark 6:48-53. 48 He saw the disciples straining at the oars, because the wind was against them. Shortly before dawn he went out to them, walking on the lake. He was about to pass by them, 49 but when they saw him walking on the lake, they thought he was a ghost. They cried out, 50 because they all saw him and were terrified.

They dogged his steps. They brought their sick to him. Jesus had the power, and they knew it. The real question is whether we know it.
Commentary, Mark 6:30-34, 53-56 (Pentecost +8), Elizabeth Webb, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2015. "By healing the sick, the weakest and most vulnerable members of a community, in this space, Jesus is subverting the economy of this world through the very inauguration of God's kingdom economy." "Compassion and Need," David Lose
Reflection: Mark 6:34-44. The first statement in this Gospel is a very powerful one. It speaks of Jesus’ love and compassion for the people who gathered to hear Him preach. Mark writes: “When Jesus saw the crowds of people who gathered around Him, He was moved with pity.”. Jesus realized that they truly were sheep without a shepherd.
