Mark 8:2-9

2“I have compassion on the crowd, because they’ve already stayed with me three days and have nothing to eat.

3If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way, and some of them have come a long distance.”

4His disciples answered him, “Where can anyone get enough bread here in this desolate place to feed these people?”

5“How many loaves do you have?” he asked them. “Seven,” they said.

6He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves, he gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to his disciples to set before the people. So they served them to the crowd.

7They also had a few small fish, and after he had blessed them, he said these were to be served as well.

8They ate and were satisfied. Then they collected seven large baskets of leftover pieces.

9About four thousand were there. He dismissed them.
