So speaking of day of liberation, I mean, when I first heard that coming out, Trump, I guess a few days ago by the time you're hearing this, said there's a day of liberation. And I thought every day is a day of liberation as a follower of Jesus. We're making new creations. The old is gone. But that was their day of liberation as a nation, as a people.
So I think that's a key thing to remember because I put that little phrase in your mind, a lamb was eaten, blood was spilled and put on the doorframe from the lamb and it was eaten.
Well, and later... which you'll introduce. This is going to come up again in John 13, where he's talking about what we call the Lord's Supper now, which he introduced at the Last Supper. And so it's like when he starts making some claims in the back end of this chapter, it's going to make a lot more sense if you look at it from their perspective.
You remember the first thing John the Baptist said in John 2 when he saw him? He said, look. The Lamb of God. The Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. So that's why, because if you just go to the verse where Jesus says, which we'll get to, he's like, unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood, you'll have no part with me. Well, people are like, oh, wait a minute, I'm out on this.
What is this, some kind of cannibalism? Type of thing. And you can look up the Greek words and say, what were the words? No, it pretty much meant eat and drink. So it's like, well, what did he mean by that? But now we're giving you the clues to kind of wrap your head around what he was saying.
Which was right before his death on the cross. Because you think about it, he didn't pick the Day of Atonement or the Jubilee or whatever. Pentecost, right. Yeah, he picked the Passover.
Yeah, let me read verse 5. And now we get, if you're keeping score, how many questions have we had so far, Al, that we've written down? Four? Four. Yeah. Where we just take Jesus' questions. Now, granted, this was a kind of a trap question, because John says that. And this one doesn't seem as profound when I first read it, but boy...
Once I went down a rabbit hole or two, this became very profound. And that's in verse 5. This will be our fifth question if you're keeping score. When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?
And I just thought, just immediately think, you think, well, that doesn't seem like a very profound question, but how many times have you had people coming over saying, And especially for people who cook of our reputation, this is a serious thing for us. Getting ready to feed people for people like our family is a big deal.
It's all hands on deck. We've got the best places in mind. Price is not the issue. That means nothing. I mean, you'll pay... Twice as much as something's worth.
Because there's going to come a moment in these festivities where people take that first bite of a meal that you've prepared. And what they think matters to my family a whole lot.
And basically my dad was overblown if they didn't say, because he's as soon as you take the first bite, you remember what he would tell people out? Every person that ever sat there. What about it? What do you think? What about it? What about it? And if they hesitated, he said, is that the best thing you've ever eaten in your life?
So he asked that question, but then there's a clarification because he asked this. John intervenes here, which I love how John takes it upon himself to say it. He asked this only to test him. So in verse 7, Philip answered him, it would take more than a half a year's wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite.
Another of his disciples, Andrew, which was cool because you don't see a whole lot of interaction from Andrew in the Gospels. Yeah.
Yeah, but it shows you Andrew kind of had a pulse on the crowd because then he says, Andrew, in verse 8, he spoke up, there's a boy with five barley loaves of bread and two small fish, but how far will that go among so many? Which is weird that he would even bring it up, but it is something like, here's what we got. Maybe he can do something with it.
It's a good sermon with, you know, you take what you have and God, you know, let's see what he can do with it. So verse 10, Jesus said, have the people sit down. There was plenty of grass in that place and they sat down. About 5,000 men were there. I mean, we're talking huge crowd.
Which now his question seems funny. You know, where shall we buy bread for these people to eat, you know? So verse 11, Jesus then took the loaves, gave thanks, and distributed to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted.
So they gathered them and filled 12 baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. After the people saw the sign Jesus performed, they began to say, surely this is the prophet who is to come into the world. So there's that verse that we talked about in the last chapter. And that's the Deuteronomy. Where was that at in Deuteronomy, Al?
Yeah. So there was predicted that there would be a prophet sent as king, I think. Yeah. But they call him a king here.
So verse 15, Jesus knowing that they intended to come and make him king. Because at first when you say, oh, here's the prophet. But he knew, okay, they're going to make him Messiah by force, withdrew to a mountain by himself, which seems... kind of opposite from what you would think he would have responded. So that's when we take a turn here.
