30
There came to him great multitudes, having with them the lame, blind, mute, maimed, and many others, and they put them down at his feet. He healed them,
31
so that the multitude wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the injured whole, lame walking, and the blind seeing -- and they glorified the God of Israel.
32
Jesus called his disciples to him, and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away fasting, or they might faint on the way."
33
The disciples said to him, "Where should we get so many loaves in a desert place as to fill so great a multitude?"
34
Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."
35
He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground;
36
and he took the seven loaves and the fish. He gave thanks and broke them, and gave to the disciples, and the disciples to the multitudes.
37
They all ate, and were filled. They took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over.
38
Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
39
He sent away the multitudes, and entered into the boat, and came into the borders of Magdala.
