At ministerial today Cliff shared that his mid-week bible study was going through John and they happened to be at the same place as the parallels in Matthew for the last few weeks. The similarities in sequence and differences in story stuck me. Take a look:

Proper 14-16	John 6
Feeding of the 5000	Feeding of the 5000
Walking on the water	Walking on the water The crowd wanted to make him king by force.
Healing of the Canaanite woman in gentile-land	Boat arrives across the lake
Feeding of the 4000	People looking for more bread
Compassion - The crowd followed him for 3 days	Rebuke for seeking a sign
Who do people say that I am?	Hard teaching of Bread from heaven
Peter’s Confession: “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God."	"Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God."
Flesh and blood have not revealed this to you	This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled him.
