In this sermon, Zack offers another, more tentative, reason why Mark might include the story of the Feeding of the 4,000 shortly after telling the story of the Feeding of the 5,000. In the story of the 5,000, Jesus feeds primarily Jews; in the story of the 4,000, Jesus feeds primarily Gentiles. After making a literary case -- and teaching about how to interpret the details/form of a text from Scripture -- Zack mines the implications. While categories are sometimes necessary, they should often be resisted.
