But now Herod, the king, executes him. He's beheaded. There's a whole story there. He's convinced to do it by a dancing girl who is also his stepdaughter. Anyway, this is a huge blow for Jesus. Remember, this is So not only a man who he followed and kind of looked to, but was also his cousin. So he's obviously very grief stricken and he goes out into a desert place to be alone.

But this crowd of people finds him and they follow him out into the wilderness. Of course, the problem is now all these people are following, but he's in the middle of the desert. So how do you feed all these people? You're away from the towns and cities where food could be bought.

So after Jesus has healed the sick who have come to see him, he takes what little food they have, five loaves of bread and two fishes, and he blesses it and puts it into baskets and tells the disciples to go feed it to the people. And miraculously, the loaves and fishes keep replenishing and 5,000 people are fed from these few loaves and fishes.

It is after this incident that Jesus walks on water in the midst of a storm, causes Peter to walk on water for a brief period of time as well. And then he performs the same feeding miracle again, except this time he feeds 4,000 people with seven loaves and a few fishes. Okay, this marks the beginning of Jesus' preparation for the end.

He now begins to speak more openly to his disciples of who he is. He asks them who people say he is. And then he asks them who they, his disciples, think he is. And his foremost apostle, sort of number two, Simon Peter, answers, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus acknowledges that he's correct.

And this is actually the first time that he has acknowledged in the Gospels that he is the Messiah. Jesus in these last days tends to spend more time teaching his disciples rather than large crowds. It's as if he's trying to prepare them to be able to carry on the work in his absence, knowing that he will soon die.

Along with his followers, Jesus travels from Galilee to Jerusalem, and he's received in Jerusalem at first with rapturous acclaim. It is a triumphant entry into the city. People spread their garments before him so that his mule doesn't have to tread on the ground, and they put palm fronds on the path before him, which was a celebratory thing.

Even so, most of these people don't think of him as the Messiah. When they are asked by bystanders, who is this man? His supporters in Jerusalem.

One of the first things he does once he enters Jerusalem is go to the temple.
