Matthew 15:32-39 - The Feeding Of Four Thousand
32 Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said to them, "I pity these people for they have been staying with me three days now and they have nothing left to eat, and I do not mean to send them away hungry, for they may give out on the way."
33 The disciples said to him, "Where can we get bread enough in this solitude to feed such a crowd?"
34 Jesus said to them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."
35 Then he ordered the people to take their places on the ground, 36 and he took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks and he broke them in pieces and gave them to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 37 And they all ate and satisfied their hunger. And the pieces that they left that were picked up filled seven baskets. 38 There were four thousand men who were fed, besides women and children. 39 And he dismissed the people and got into the boat and went to the district of Magadan.
1 In those days when a great crowd had gathered again and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, 2 "I pity these people, for they have been staying with me three days now, and they have nothing left to eat. 3 And if I send them home hungry they will give out on the way, for some of them come from a distance."
4 His disciples replied, "Where can anyone get bread enough, here in this solitude, to satisfy these people's hunger?"
5 "How many loaves have you?" he asked. "Seven," they said. 6 Then he ordered the people to take their places on the ground. And he took the seven loaves and gave thanks and broke them in pieces and gave them to his disciples to pass, and they passed them to the people. 7 They had a few small fish, and he blessed them and told the disciples to pass them also to the people. 8 And they ate and satisfied their hunger. And the pieces that they left, that were picked up, filled seven baskets. 9 There were about four thousand of the people. And he dismissed them. 10 Then he immediately got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
