Mark 8:2

The Feeding Of Four Thousand

¹ In those days, when there was again a large crowd [gathered before Him] and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples and told them, ² “I feel compassion for the crowd; they have been with Me now for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. ³ If I send them away to their homes hungry, they will faint [from exhaustion] on the road; because some of them have come a long way.”
