When Jesus does math

The hillside where Jesus fed the 5,000. This natural amphitheater slopes down until it reaches the Sea of Galilee. Nearby (this photo was taken on a bus) is a church originally built in AD 28, which claims to have the very rock He sat on under its altar (because in Jewish culture, teachers sat).


I was thinking about it though... we know the crowd was much larger than 5K because only the men were counted. And what an incredible miracle, that He fed them from 5 loaves and 2 fish. BUT... as we drove past, I imagined Him standing there, preaching, and just had to wonder at how a crowd of 15k+ HEARD him teaching, outside, without sound or audio equipment.

I wonder how many miracles happened that day? #israel #apictureadayofIsrael
