29
And when Jesus had passed away from thence, he came nigh the sea of Galilee: and going up into a mountain, he sat there.
30
And there came to him great multitudes, having with them the dumb, the blind, the lame, the maimed, and many others: and they cast them down at his feet, and he healed them:
31
So that the multitudes marvelled seeing the dumb speak, the lame walk, the blind see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32
And Jesus called together his disciples, and said: I have compassion on the multitudes, because they continue with me now three days, and have not what to eat, and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.
33
And the disciples say unto him: Whence then should we have so many loaves in the desert, as to fill so great a multitude?
34
And Jesus said to them: How many loaves have you? But they said: Seven, and a few little fishes.
35
And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground.
36
And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, and giving thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave to the people.
37
And they did all eat, and had their fill. And they took up seven baskets full, of what remained of the fragments.
38
And they that did eat, were four thousand men, beside children and women.
39
And having dismissed the multitude, he went up into a boat, and came into the coasts of Magedan.
