Matthew 15:32-38

32Jesus called his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they’ve already stayed with me three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry, otherwise they might collapse on the way.”

33The disciples said to him, “Where could we get enough bread in this desolate place to feed such a crowd?”

34“How many loaves do you have?” Jesus asked them. “Seven,” they said, “and a few small fish.”

35After commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground,

36he took the seven loaves and the fish, gave thanks, broke them, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

37They all ate and were satisfied. They collected the leftover pieces — seven large baskets full.

38Now there were four thousand men who had eaten, besides women and children.
