1 In those days the crowd being very many, and having nothing they might eat, Jesus having called his disciples, says to them, 2 I feel compassion for the crowd, for already they remain three days with me, and have nothing they might eat: 3 And if I loose them fasting to their house, they will be relaxed in the way: for some of them have come from far. 4 And his disciples answered him, Whence might anyone be able to satisfy these with loaves here in the lonely place? 5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. 6 And he enjoined to the crowd to recline upon the earth: and having taken the seven loaves, having returned thanks, he brake, and he gave to his disciples that they might set before; and they set before the crowd. 7 And they had a few little fishes: and having praised, he spake to set them also before. 8 And they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up the remains of the fragments, seven wicker baskets. 9 And they eating were about four thousand: and he loosed them. 10 And quickly having gone into the ship with his disciples, he came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 11 And the Pharisees came out, and began to search out with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. 12 And having sighed deeply in spirit, he says, Why seeks this generation for a sign Verily I say to you, shall a sign be given to this generation. 13 And having let them go, having gone again into the ship, he departed beyond. 14 And they forgot to take loaves, and had not but one loaf with them in the ship. 15 And he enjoined them, saying, See ye, look away from the leaven of the Pharisees, and the leaven of Herod. 16 And they reasoned with one another, saying, Because we have no loaves. 17 And Jesus having known, says to them, Why reason ye with yourselves, because ye have no loaves? observe ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened? 18 Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and remember ye not?
