Text: Luke 9: 12-14

THE DESERTED PLACE OF BETHSAIDA

1. The “deserted place” may be called “a wilderness”. It was like a desert area (Luke 9:10).

2. Thus, it was able to accommodate a huge multitude.

THE ENDING OF THE DAY

1. The Twelve were now playing a larger role in the Ministry of the Lord Jesus.

2. Their observations made to the Lord Jesus:

a. Suggestion

i. To conclude His ministry for the day.

ii. To send the multitude away (Luke 9:12a).

b. Reasons

i. The multitude would need to eat.

ii. The wilderness did not have shops where food may be bought.

iii. There were neighbouring towns quite nearby.

iv. The people could easily leave and purchase their food.

THE COUNTER SUGGESTION OF THE LORD JESUS

1. The Lord suggested that The Twelve should feed the multitude (Luke 9:13a).

2. This suggestion sounded incredulous.

3. The reply came back swiftly.

a. They had 5 loaves and 2 fish (Luke 9:13b).

b. They (The Twelve. would have to go to the towns to purchase food for all.

c. They were not convinced that this was a good suggestion.

d. They had no idea what the Lord meant when He spoke of feeding the multitude.

4. The number of people who made up the multitude was 5000 (Luke 9:14a).

a. That was a staggering number of people.

b. How could the 5 loaves and 2 fish feed the multitude?

经文：路加福音 9：12-14

伯赛大的荒凉之地

1. 荒凉之地”可被称为“荒野”。它就像一个沙漠地区《路加福音 9:10》

2. 因此，它能够容纳庞大的人群

一天的结束

1. 十二位门徒如今在主耶稣的事工里扮演着更重要的角色

2. 他们与主耶稣分享他们所观察的

a. 建议

i. 结束主耶稣当天的事工

ii. 叫众人散开《路加福音 9:12a》

b. 原因

i. 众人需要找吃的

ii． 旷野没有可以买食物的商店

iii. 附近有邻近的城镇

iv． 人们可以很容易地离开并购买食物

主耶稣的反建议

1. 主耶稣建议十二位门徒给众人吃的 《路加福音 9:13a》

2. 这个建议听起来难以置信

3. 回复很快

a. 他们只有五个饼和两条鱼《路加福音 9:13b》

b. 他们（十二人）就必须到城镇购买食物给众人

c. 他们不认为这是一个好的建议

d. 他们不明白主耶稣说要给众人吃的意思

4. 群众的人数约有五千 《路加福音 9:14a》

a. 那是惊人的人数

b. 五个饼和两条鱼如何喂饱众人呢？
