Since they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him and said,
2 “I have compassion toward the crowd, because already three days they continue with Me and have nothing that they might eat. “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. “I have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat.

7 And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, He said to set before them these also. And they had a few small fish.
