Matthew 15:32-36 ▼

32 Then Jesus called his disciples and said, |I have compassion for the crowd because they have already been with me for three days and have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away without food, or they may faint on the road.|

33 The disciples asked him, |Where in the wilderness are we to get enough bread to feed such a crowd?|

34 Jesus asked them, |How many loaves of bread do you have?| They said, |Seven, and a few small fish.|

35 Ordering the crowd to sit down on the ground,

36 he took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks. Then he broke them in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
