Mark 8:2-9

2“1I feel compassion for the 2people because they have remained with Me for three days already and have nothing to eat.

3And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come from a great distance.”

4And His disciples replied to Him, “Where will anyone be able to find enough 3bread here in this desolate place to satisfy these people?”

5And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”

6And He directed the 4people to recline on the ground; and taking the seven loaves, He gave thanks and broke them, and started giving them to His disciples to serve, and they served them to the 5people.

7They also had a few small fish; and 6after He had blessed them, He told the disciples to serve these as well.

8And they ate and were satisfied; and they picked up seven large 7baskets full of what was left over of the broken pieces.

9About four thousand 8men were there; and He dismissed them.
