Matthew 15:30-39 ▼

30 And many crowds came to him, having with them the lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them at the feet of Jesus; and he cured them:

31 So that the crowds wondered, seeing the dumb speaking, the maimed sound, the lame walking, and the blind seeing: and they praised the God of Israel.

32 And Jesus having called his disciples, said, I feel compassion for the crowd, for already they remain with me three days, and they have nothing they could eat: and I will not leave them fasting, lest they be relaxed in the way.

33 And his disciples say to him, Whence to us, in a lonely place, so many loaves, to satisfy such a crowd?

34 And he says to them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

35 And he encouraged the crowd to recline upon the earth.

36 And having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having returned thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the crowd.

37 And all ate, and were satisfied: and they took up that remaining of the fragments seven wicker baskets full.

38 And they eating were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39 And having loosed the crowds, he went into a ship, and came into the bounds of Magdala.
