Peter, walking last with Judas, asked him softly, "Which one of us would be an enemy?" Judas' hands toyed with ... a money bag at his waist. "That man delights In riddles. Too many riddles." The grassy plain that had been the scene of the feeding of the 5,000 bustled with activity the next day. News of the free food Christ had provided brought hundreds of people to the site expecting bread and fish for themselves. Some of the multitude had lingered on the plain all night. They had caught glimpses of Jesus as He climbed the mountain alone and had observed the apostles leave in a boat. Yet, when morning dawned, there was no trace of Jesus on the plain or hillside. Eventually the majority of the multitude started leaving in boats, hoping to find Jesus in Capernaum (John 6:24). They discovered Him at the synagogue, teaching those who had gathered. Part of the multitude pushed into the building while the overflow waited outside. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
