Matthew 15:32-39

32Then Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, “I feel compassion for the crowd, because they have been with Me now three days and have nothing [left] to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, because they might faint [from exhaustion] on the way [home].”

33The disciples said to Him, “Where are we to get enough bread in this isolated place to feed so large a crowd?”

34And Jesus asked them, “How many loaves [of bread] do you have?” They replied, “Seven, and a few small fish.”

35He directed the crowd to sit down on the ground,

36and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and when He had given thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the people.

37And they all ate and were satisfied, and they gathered up seven full baskets of the broken pieces that were left over.

38[Among] those who ate were 4,000 men, not counting women and children.

39Then Jesus sent the crowds away, got into the boat and went to the district of Magadan.
