Rose asks,
What about the women and children? Why aren't they mentioned during the feeding of the 5000 men?
So, Jordan, Kelly, and Pastor Matthew with your study Bibles, does the Greek word translated as men mean everybody or just men?

Okay - Not sure what it says about our family's communication if I'm answering my daughter's question by commenting on her blog posting....but....
ReplyDeleteMy study Bible doesn't say anything in Luke about women or children...I think the "men" here means "men". But the same story is in Matthew 14. In Matthew's version, it ends with 14:21 "And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children." - so that would imply that there were closer to 10,000 people or so altogether.
That's what I have as well, Kelly, Rose and Marcus!
