32 Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way."  33 And the disciples said to him, "Where are we to get bread enough in the desert to feed so great a crowd?" 
34 And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven, and a few small fish."  35 And commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36 he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 
37 And they all ate and were satisfied; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.  38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.  39 And sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.

1 In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them, 2 "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; 3 and if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long way."  4 And his disciples answered him, "How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?" 
5 And he asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven."  6 And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.  7 And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them. 8 And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.  9 And there were about four thousand people.  10 And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanutha.
