Matthew 15:33-39

33 His disciples said, "But where in this deserted place are you going to dig up enough food for a meal?"
34 Jesus asked, "How much bread do you have?"
35 At that, Jesus directed the people to sit down.
36 He took the seven loaves and the fish. After giving thanks, he divided it up and gave it to the people.
37 Everyone ate. They had all they wanted. It took seven large baskets to collect the leftovers.
38 Over four thousand people ate their fill at that meal.
39 After Jesus sent them away, he climbed in the boat and crossed over to the Magadan hills.
