Matthew:15:29-39
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Jesus departed from there ,
skirted the Sea of Galilee ,
and went up on the mountain and sat down there .
*
Then great multitudes came to Him ,
having with them the lame ,
blind ,
mute ,
maimed ,
and many others ;
and they laid them down at Jesus '
feet ,
and He healed them .
*
So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking ,
the maimed made whole ,
the lame walking ,
and the blind seeing ;
and they glorified the God of Israel .
*
Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said , "
I have compassion on the multitude ,
because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat .
And I do not want to send them away hungry ,
lest they faint on the way ."
*
Then His disciples said to Him , "
Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude ?"
*
Jesus said to them , "
How many loaves do you have ?"
And they said , "
Seven ,
and a few little fish ."
*
So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground .
*
And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks ,
broke them and gave them to His disciples ;
and the disciples gave to the multitude .
*
So they all ate and were filled ,
and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left .
*
Now those who ate were four thousand men ,
besides women and children .
*
And He sent away the multitude ,
got into the boat ,
and came to the region of Magdala .
