Jesus was such a supreme Student of Scripture that practically everything He did was based on some Old Testament precedent, some Type or Symbol in the Jewish Scriptures.

To me the following Paragraph from Psalm 107 almost predicts what Jesus did when He saw those 5,000 hungry men and their families, in John chapter 6.

Psalm 107:4-5 … “They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in. HUNGRY and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.”

So look what Jesus did!

Psalm 107:9 … “For he satisfieth the longing soul, and FILLETH THE HUNGRY soul with goodness.”

Yes, He fed them!

Then later that same evening, actually in the middle of the next night (the 4th watch) … Jesus saw the Disciples aboard ship!

Psalm 107:23, another Paragraph … “They that go down to the SEA in SHIPS, that do business in great waters.”

Then the storm of John 6 …

Psalm 107:25-27 … “For he (the Lord) commandeth, and raiseth the STORMY WIND, which lifteth up the waves thereof. They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their WITS’ END.”

What fear!

But Psalm 107:28-30 … “Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses. He maketh the storm a CALM, so that the waves thereof are still.”

Exactly what happened!

Then John 6 adds that “immediately” the ship was at the land!

Psalm 107:30 continues … “Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he BRINGETH them unto their DESIRED HAVEN.”

I may be “stretching” things, but Jesus is that amazing! Jesus and His Bible, what an example He has left us.
