Jesus' Feeding Five thousands with five breads and two fishes are recorded in all four Gospels. Among Jesus' all other miracles, this miracle alone is recorded four times. This fact shows the vital importance of this miracle. Most studies on this miracle have so far been done either to find out the interrelationship between this fourfold story, or to draw out the common messages of these records. It naturally implies that these four stories on Jesus' feeding are not interpreted from the perspective of each Gospel. This is the reason for studying Jesus' miraculous feeding of the multitudes from each Gospel's distinctive perspective. This essay intends to draw out distinctive message or theological emphasis of the same miracle from each Gospels' particular angle. First, Matthew clearly presents this story from the coming inevitable suffering of Jesus Christ; this is obviously seen in the direct connection between John the Baptist's death record and Jesus' feeding miracle. This aspect is concretely made clear in the fact that Matthew's feeding record contains several impressions reminding us of Jesus' passion narratives. Secondly, Mark's particular emphasis in the feeding story is on the identity of Jesus as the Messianic shepherd and the disciples' utter ignorance or misunderstanding of this identity. The materials from Jesus's feeding down to Peter's confession of faith not only show his disciples' continual or stubborn ignorance about Jesus' real identity, but also Jesus' ongoing effort to open their spiritual eyes about his identity. As a result, his disciples partially came to recognize Jesus' identity. Thirdly, Luke's feeding story is uniquely written from the perspective of the twelve disciples' mission to present Jesus to the world; only when they come to rightly appreciate Jesus' messianic identity, they are capable of presenting him as the Messiah who has fulfilled all the promises of salvation in the O.T. Luke's unique link between the feeding miracle and the apostles' ministry in Acts 3-4 manifest how their preaching ministry began to fulfill Jesus' ideal on their mission as contained in his feeding five thousands. Fourthly, as well recognized, John's feeding story, by its direct link with Jesus' discourse of bread of life, predominantly emphasizes that Jesus himself is the bread of life. To bring this particular theme out, John intentionally uses various expressions in the feeding record, which are also used in Jesus' discourse on the bread of life. In conclusion, each record of Jesus' feeding miracle stresses each Gospels' unique theological point. It is only when we recognize these distinctive points, that we can properly understand what this feeding miracle richly and distinctively tell us about Jesus' messianic identity and his mission.
