Jesus’ miracle of feeding 5000 men is contained in all 4 of the gospels. However, Jesus performed a second similar miracle, the Feeding of the 4000 men (plus women and children). This miracle only appears in Mat 15:29-39, Mk 8:1-10. Similar to the feeding of the 5000, churches typically do not teach the whole meaning of this miracle. For example, what does 4000 symbolize versus 5000? There are at least 9 important spiritual truths in this miracle, most of which the church does not talk about. These lessons include the mountain where this miracle occurred and the use of the numbers 7 (fishes) and 4000 (men). Click on the link below to view a YouTube video on this topic.
