When Jesus sat the men down on the grass prior to the miracle of the 5 loaves & 2 fishes there was a reason.
Matthew 14:13-21
Not only was he feeding them physically but also with the Word (Jesus himself) that shows he is the pasture/grass that satisfies.
OT = mirʿê = pasture = feeding place (location or act)
NT = nomē = pasture = pasturage, fodder, food
OT = deše = grass = food the beasts like, blade , early shoot, green herb (tender)
NT = chortos = grass = the place where grass grows and animals graze.
[John 6:10 KJV] And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
"Now there was much grass in the place" such a subtle comment, but with great implication.
[John 10:9 KJV] I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
[Psalm 79:13 KJV] So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
[Psalm 95:7 KJV] For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
[Ezekiel 34:31 KJV] And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, [are] men, [and] I [am] your God, saith the Lord GOD.
The Flock of my pasture is those that survive on the Word of God 🙏♥️
[John 14:10 KJV] Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Jesus , God & The Holy Spirit are one.
