Somthing Fishy here, Elisha feeds 100 men and Jesus feeds Thousands.

    You think Jesus is trying to out do the Old Testament.

    2 Kings 4:42-44 Elisha feeds 100 men, and bread

    was left over. Jesus feeds 1000,s and bread was left

    over. Elisha had 20 loaves of bread (100 men), Jesus

    5 loaves.

    Of course there are many examples in the gospels of Jesus

    repeating A miracle from the Old Testament, but doing so

    in A larger and grander style.

    So was Jesus pointing to Christianty surpassing Judaism.

    I am sure it was confusing to the Jews. No doubt they where

    aware of Elisha miracle, so now you have Jesus going one

    up on Elisha. It must have been A rough time for Jews.

    All they believed in, forget it..

    Jesus of Nazareth was pulling out all stops in showing the lost house of Israel that He was - and is - I AM.

    A good example of post-Jesus writers seeking to validate him as a prophet.

    It was the same Person who parted and calmed the sea.
