“Mark contrasts the godless feast of King Herod Antipas,
at which John [the Baptist] is killed, with the desert feast of the
Shepherd-Messiah of Israel, at which the people are fed in their minds by Jesus’
teaching and in their bodies by simple peasant fare which he generously
provides.”
Paul Barnett, The
Servant King: Reading Mark Today (Aquila, 1991) p98
