32 | Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way." |
33 | And the disciples said to him, "Where are we to get bread enough in the desert to feed so great a crowd?" |
34 | And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish." |
35 | And commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground, |
36 | he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. |
37 | And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over. |
38 | Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. |
39 | And sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Mag'adan. |
