Matthew 15:32-39 ▼

32 Then Jesus calling his disciples, said, I have compassion on the multitude, for they have now continued with me three days, and have not any thing to eat: and send them away fasting I will not, lest they faint on the road.

33 And his disciples said unto him, Whence can we in the wilderness have loaves enough to satisfy the cravings of so great a multitude?

34 And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few small fishes.

35 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

36 And taking the seven loaves and the fishes, he gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

37 And they did all eat, and were filled: and took up a superabundance of fragments seven baskets full.

38 And they that had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children.

39 And dismissing the multitudes he went on board a vessel, and came into the coasts of Magdala.
