There is one main Miracle that we see in Mark 6:45-52. We know that through the Holy Spirit Jesus, as a man, is capable of doing the miraculous (Mk 1) as he is also God. Time and time again Jesus demonstrates that he is not some ordinary man (as his family and friends from childhood wanted to think 6:1-6). Jesus' message is authenticated and his attributes are defined through his miracles.
We have seen Jesus respond to the crowd of 5,000 with compassion and see the disciples in danger and terror also with compassion. He demonstrates parallel ability and concern with God's dealings with Israel in the desert. Here Jesus again indicates much about who he is through his miracles. Beyond the main miracle, what miracles does Jesus carry out in this passage? What do all of these miracles say about Jesus and communicate about the attributes of God?
