Galilee's Hillside Sharing
The Miracles Of Jesus And Their Flip Side
Miracle narratives from the Revised Common Lectionary with a fresh look at the other side of the story
Jesus had compassion on the many hungry listeners,
and taught the wary disciples an unforgettable lesson
of response to need and how little becomes so much,
At his prompting they all participated in new sharing.
Matthew and Mark related this very special event which took place on the gradual slope of the north bank of the Sea of Galilee where the grass was still green. They should know as they had heard Peter's eye witness account. Young John may also have been there. He wrote about it, too, in the fourth Gospel.
