* In those days , the multitude being very great , and not having what they might eat , Jesus having summoned his disciples , he says to them , * I feel compassion toward the multitude , because they continue with me now three days , and do not have what they might eat . * And if I send them away without food to their house , they will faint on the way , for some of them come from afar . * And his disciples answered him , From where will anyone be able to fill these men of loaves here in a desolate place ? * And he questioned them , How many loaves have ye ? And they said , Seven . * And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground . And after taking the seven loaves , having given thanks , he broke in pieces , and gave to his disciples so that they might place before them . And they place before the crowd . * And they had a few small fishes . And having blessed them , he said to also place before them . * And they ate and were filled . And they took up seven hampers of surplus fragments . * And those who ate were about four thousand , and he sent them away . * And straightaway having entered into the boat with his disciples , he came into the parts of Dalmanutha .
