[1] In those days the multitude and having nothing to eat, called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, [2] I have compassion on the multitude, because now been three days, and have nothing to eat: [3] And if them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: divers of them came from far. [4] And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy men with bread here in the wilderness? [5] And them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. [6] And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. [7] And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded them also before [8] they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. [9] And about four thousand: and them away.
