Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand (MAT 15:32-39)

[15:32] Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”

[15:33] And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?”

[15:34] And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”

[15:35] And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground,

[15:36] he took the seven loaves and the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

[15:37] And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.

[15:38] Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

[15:39] And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
