Mark 8:2-9

2“1I feelG4697 compassionG4697 for the 2peopleG3793 becauseG3754 they have remainedG4357 with Me for threeG5140 daysG2250 alreadyG2235 and haveG2192 nothingG3756G5100 to eatG2068.

3And ifG1437 I sendG630 them awayG630 hungryG3523 to their homesG3624, they will faintG1590 on the wayG3598; and someG5100 of them haveG1510 comeG1510 from a greatG3113 distanceG3113.”

4And His disciplesG3101 repliedG611 to Him, “WhereG4159 will anyoneG5100 be ableG1410 to find enough 3breadG740 hereG5602 in this desolateG2047 placeG2047 to satisfyG5526 theseG3778 peopleG3778?”

5And He was askingG2065 them, “HowG4214 manyG4214 loavesG740 do you haveG2192?” And they saidG3004, “SevenG2033.”

6And He directedG3853 the 4peopleG3793 to reclineG377 on the groundG1093; and takingG2983 the sevenG2033 loavesG740, He gaveG2168 thanksG2168 and brokeG2806 them, and started givingG1325 them to His disciplesG3101 to serveG3908, and they servedG3908 them to the 5peopleG3793.

7They alsoG2532 hadG2192 a fewG3641 smallG2485 fishG2485; and 6after He had blessedG2127 them, He toldG3004 the disciples to serveG3908 theseG3778 asG2532 wellG2532.

8And they ateG2068 and were satisfiedG5526; and they pickedG142 upG142 sevenG2033 largeG4711 7basketsG4711 full of whatG4051 wasG4051 leftG4051 overG4051 of the brokenG2801 piecesG2801.

9AboutG5613 fourG5070 thousandG5070 8men were there; and He dismissedG630 them.
