8.) =Sending out the Twelve= (Mark 6. 7-13). Read the longer report of the charge to the Twelve in Matt. 10.
4.) With the Fourth Journey, the _Retirement to Bethsaida_:
9.) =Feeding the Five Thousand= (Mark 6. 31-44). This and the following are the only miracles related in all the four gospels. Compare their accounts.
10.) =Walking on the Sea= (Mark 6. 45-52). Note the additions in Matt. 14. 22-33).
11.) =Discourse on the Bread of Life= (John 6. 24-59). This marked a crisis in his ministry, for it proclaimed a spiritual application of the miracle, and not a "kingdom of meat and drink," as men were expecting. Note the results (John 6. 60-68). Thus at the close of his Galilean ministry--as before at the close of his Judean ministry--the Saviour was left alone with his few disciples.

From the Retirement to Phoenicia to the Anointing by Mary
1. =It was a year, lacking one week.= Jesus did not attend the third passover of his ministry. We find him at this time still in Galilee, and soon afterward leaving Galilee for "the coasts of Tyre and Sidon" (John 7. 1-3; Mark 7. 24). Nearly a year later, on the week before the fourth passover, we find Jesus at Bethany, where the anointing by Mary took place (John 12. 1, 2). Between these two passovers came the year of opposition.
2. =It was a year of wandering.= During this period we notice that Jesus was in constant motion, staying only a little while at each place, and in succession visiting all the five provinces of Palestine. Notice the province referred to in each of the following references: John 7. 1; Mark 7. 31; Mark 8. 27; Luke 9. 51, 52; Mark 10. 1; John 10. 40.
