Who Was Jesus, Really?

The Accord is the most insightful work ever produced of the man who has changed more lives than anyone in the history of the world.

You will find that The Accord is:

• A literary masterpiece that presents every detail of the life, ministry and teachings of Jesus in an exhaustive compilation of the four original Gospels.
• Color enhanced so that the reader can continuously recognize from which of the Gospels the text originated.
• The first book yet to combine the four Gospels into one chronological account of the life, ministry and teachings of Jesus Christ.
• An irreplaceable study tool for those looking to further their knowledge of the Bible.
• A detailed preservation of the original Gospel text as the inspired Words of God.

Nothing comparable has ever been produced in the 2,000 year history of the New Testament.

Feeding the Five Thousand

When the apostles returned, they reported to Jesus all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias) to a town called Bethsaida. But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them because they saw the miraculous signs he had performed on the sick.

When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he welcomed them. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with his disciples. The Jewish Passover Feast was near. There was plenty of grass in that place, and the men sat down, about five thousand of them. He had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things and spoke to them about the kingdom of God, and healed those who needed healing.

Late in the afternoon the Twelve came to him and said, "Send the crowd away so they can go to the surrounding villages and countryside and find food and lodging, because we are in a remote place here and it’s already getting very late." He replied, "They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat." He said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. Philip answered him, "Eight months’ wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?" Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, spoke up, "Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?"

"Bring them here to me," he said. Then Jesus directed them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. Jesus then took the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to those who were seated as much as they wanted. He did the same with the fish. When they had all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, "Gather the pieces that are left over. Let nothing be wasted." So they gathered them and filled twelve baskets with the pieces of the five barley loaves left over by those who had eaten. After the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus did, they began to say, "Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world." The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
