Matthew 15:32-39

32Then Jesus called his disciples and told them, “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry, or they will faint along the way.”

33The disciples replied, “Where would we get enough food here in the wilderness for such a huge crowd?”

34Jesus asked, “How much bread do you have?” They replied, “Seven loaves, and a few small fish.”

35So Jesus told all the people to sit down on the ground.

36Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, thanked God for them, and broke them into pieces. He gave them to the disciples, who distributed the food to the crowd.

37They all ate as much as they wanted. Afterward, the disciples picked up seven large baskets of leftover food.

38There were 4,000 men who were fed that day, in addition to all the women and children.

39Then Jesus sent the people home, and he got into a boat and crossed over to the region of Magadan.
