Mark 8:1-9

1In those daysG2250, when there wasG1510 againG3825 a greatG4183 multitudeG3793, and they had nothing to eatG2068, he called unto him his disciplesG3101, and saith unto them,

2I have compassionG4697 on the multitudeG3793, because they continue with me now threeG5140 daysG2250, and have nothing to eatG2068:

3and if I sendG630 them awayG630 fasting to their homeG3624, they will faintG1590 on the wayG3598; and some of them are comeG2240 from far.

4And his disciplesG3101 answeredG611 him, Whence shall oneG5100 be ableG1410 to fill these menG3778 with breadG740 hereG5602 in a desert placeG2047?

5And he askedG2065 them, HowG4214 manyG4214 loavesG740 have ye? And they saidG3004, SevenG2033.

6And he commandeth the multitudeG3793 to sit down on the groundG1093: and he tookG2983 the sevenG2033 loavesG740, and having givenG1325 thanksG2168, he brake, and gaveG1325 to his disciplesG3101, to setG3908 before them; and they setG3908 them before the multitudeG3793.

7And they had a fewG3641 smallG3641 fishes: and having blessedG2127 them, he commanded to setG3908 these alsoG2532 before them.

8And they ateG2068, and were filledG5526: and they tookG142 up, of broken pieces that remained over, sevenG2033 basketsG4711.

9And they wereG1510 about fourG5070 thousandG5070: and he sentG630 them awayG630.
