Which Gospel accounts the Feeding of the 5,000?

• A. Matthew, Mark, Luke
• B. Mark, Luke, John
• C. Matthew, Mark, John
• D. Matthew, Luke, Acts

Answer: (C)

The Gospel accounts that describe the Feeding of the 5,000 are indeed found in Matthew, Mark, and John. Each of these Gospels presents this miracle, highlighting the significance of Jesus' ability to provide for a large crowd with limited resources.

In Matthew, the event emphasizes Jesus’ compassion for the crowd, as He sees them hungry and takes action to feed them. Mark similarly recounts this miracle with a focus on the disciples’ initial concern about feeding the people and how Jesus instructs them to bring what they have. John's account adds a unique perspective by introducing Andrew, who points out a boy with five barley loaves and two fish, reinforcing the theme of faith and abundance in God’s provision.

Other combinations do not fully encompass the miracles as recorded in the respective Gospels. For example, while Luke does recount the Feeding of the 5,000, it is missing from the last listed option which includes Acts—a separate book that does not describe this miracle. Thus, the selection that includes Matthew, Mark, and John provides a comprehensive view of the Feeding of the 5,000 as recorded in the Gospels.
