1
In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and saith to them,
2
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3
And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for some of them came from a distance.
4
And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
5
And he asked 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 broke, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they set [them] before the people.
