waiting for him there must have been 5,000 men there Lord we should leave this place we'll get no rest here but Jesus felt sorry for them for they had no leader they're like sheep without a shepherd so he began to teach them he told them God loves everyone the good and the bad the honest and the dishonest alike he loves our enemies just as he loves our friends surely God doesn't love robbers what Jesus had said very brave because there were freedom fighters in the crowd who hated being ruled by the Romans love your enemies do good to those who hate you bless those who curse healing pray for those who treat you badly do to others what you would have them do to you Lord this is a lonely spot and it's getting late send the crowds out to the farms and villages so they can buy the food for themselves you feed them how it would cost a fortune to feed all these people how much food do you have go and see all we have are these five barley loaves and these two fish make the people sit down on the grass and groups and they divide into groups of 50s and hundreds then Jesus took the food and gave thanks Baroque utter adonai eloheinu melech ha'olam hamotzi Lechem min Haaretz he broke the

Oh wow, I used to watch this when I went to a church "summer camp" thing for a week out of the holidays. (It wasn't a proper camp, was held inside the church hall, and as a family we aren't religious at all. Think my mum just wanted some free time!)

Went for a few years. Each table was like a different Roman-period shop front and we'd rotate activities throughout the week. The vicar's daughters dressed up as Roman soldiers.

Totally forgot about this show until now! Is the main guy a baker? I remember the one where he was teaching about the fish symbol. Might have to skim through them and see what I remember!
