Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Theology - Biblical Theology, University of Innsbruck (Collegium Canisianum), course: Post graduate Course, language: English, abstract: In today's context, where we witness a growing spirit of individualism, which justifies the survival of the fittest, which looks down upon the spirit of sharing, Mark's portrayal of Jesus, in the context of the two feeding narratives emphasizes on the values of sharing and inclusivism. So this study is not accidental but highly significant and relevant in today's context. Through the narration of these miracles Mark brings out the universal nature of Jesus' mission. In this paper, we shall strive to bring forth, how these seemingly similar miracles are present in the gospel to speak of the nature of Jesus' mission which starts with the Judean community and goes on to embrace the gentiles. One may say that these two narratives are nothing but repetition occurred as a result of two different traditions or sources. But through our study we shall show that Mark does not in vain repeat the same story. He had a particular motive in placing these two stories in his gospel.
