*
On leaving there ,
Jesus came along by the lake of Galilee and went up on the mountain and sat down there .
*
Then a great crowd came to him having with them lame men ,
maimed men ,
blind men ,
mutes ,
and many others ,
and they laid them at his feet and he healed them .
*
The crowd was astonished when they saw mutes talking ,
maimed men sound ,
lame men walking about ,
and blind men seeing ,
and they gave glory to the God of Israel .
*
Jesus called his disciples to him and said ,
*
The disciples said to him , "
Where can we get enough bread in this uninhabited place to feed such a crowd ?"
*
Jesus said ,
They said , "
Seven ,
and a few small fishes ."
*
Then he told the crowd to recline on the ground ,
*
and he took the seven loaves and the fishes and gave thanks and broke them and gave to his disciples ,
and the disciples distributed to the crowd .
*
All ate and were satisfied ,
and they picked up seven baskets full of fragments that were left over .
*
There were four thousand men that ate ,
besides women and children .
*
Then after dismissing the crowd he got into a boat and came into the region of Magadan .
