29
And Jesus having passed thence, came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and having gone up to the mountain, he was sitting there,
30
and there came to him great multitudes, having with them lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they did cast them at the feet of Jesus, and he healed them,
31
so that the multitudes did wonder, seeing dumb ones speaking, maimed whole, lame walking, and blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
32
And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, `I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.'
33
And his disciples say to him, `Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?'
34
And Jesus saith to them, `How many loaves have ye?' and they said, `Seven, and a few little fishes.'
35
And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,
36
and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37
And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,
38
and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
39
And having let away the multitudes, he went into the boat, and did come to the borders of Magdala.
