santikos:
thanks for all your inputs. i know it is not a real deep topic but it was one of those things that made me say hmmmm. before i started fellowshipping here i never would have thought anything of it. but since meeting all of you here i now read with a different understanding. so when i read it, i thought of the 12 disciples ruling over the nation gathering all (there were12 extra baskets)so that none be lost. I have not read or listened to all of rays teachings so i am not sure if the 12 ruling diciples are literal or figurtively. it was just food for thought. thanks for your help.

grapehound:
Wonderful insight Marky Mark, thank you so much.

Not to labour the point too much but can you give any illumination as to why there were no leftovers of the fishes? They seem very symbolic.

Mark 6:43

 Beware of the Leaven

I ran across this topic and thought to add some verses...

Matthew 16

 5And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.

 6Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

 7And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.

 8Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?

 9Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

 10Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?

 11How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

 12Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

 Mark 8

 14Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

 15And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

 16And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have no bread.

 17And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?

 18Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

 19When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.

 20And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.

 21And he said unto them, How is it that ye do not understand?

 Last but not least;

Luke 12

 1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Peace,

Joe
