Gospel Note
The feeding of the 5,000 is the only miracle recorded by all four Gospels. John's version differs in some details, and is more eucharistic in emphasis and eschatological in signification than those of the Synopticists. Perhaps a miracle of sharing by example, the event nevertheless shows that compassion for human needs is central to the Kingdom of God that Jesus in inaugurating and prefiguring.
