Feeding the Five Thousand | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of the feeding of the five thousand and the Bread of Life, built around the Savior’s words: “I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger” (John 6:35).

Follow a numbered map from the crowd on the shore to the Bread of Life sermon, then look closer at the details. Context and two Greek words help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the crowd, the coins, the boy, the barley loaves, the grass, His hands, twelve baskets, manna and the bread of life
• What are you bringing? Not enough, hungry for more, following for the wrong reasons, or choosing to stay, with check-ins
• Questions on the hillside: write the answers from John 6, then your own
• Their world, their words: Passover, Moses and manna, simple food, a crowd that wanted a king, and the Greek words for “bread” and “fragments”
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with Matthew’s and Mark’s accounts
• Seek Him today: the Savior’s words, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of John 6, sacrament and offering lessons, and youth or Primary classes any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
• Adults who want a deeper, well-sourced study
