Matthew 14

Matthew 14 has some very familiar stories of Jesus. The feeding of the 5,000 and the walking on water and John the Baptists death are heard many times in Sunday School and church...

Like the word "Love" the Greek language has several different words for "basket". The first baskets presented to Jesus before the miracle were "kophinos" which were relatively small baskets but the baskets that you could carry on your back, but to collect the left over food after the miracle were "spuris" much larger baskets. The spuris (baskets) were the type used to lower Paul from the wall in Damascus in Acts 9:25! That's a lot of left overs!
