In those days ,
when again a great crowd had gathered ,
and they had nothing to eat ,
he called his disciples to him ,
and said to them ,
* "
I have compassion on the crowd ,
because they have been with me now three days ,
and have nothing to eat ;
*
and if I send them away hungry to their homes ,
they will faint on the way ;
and some of them have come a long way ."
*
And his disciples answered him , "
How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert ?"
*
And he asked them , "
How many loaves have you ?"
They said , "
Seven ."
*
And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground ;
and he took the seven loaves ,
and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people ;
and they set them before the crowd .
*
And they had a few small fish ;
and having blessed them ,
he commanded that these also should be set before them .
*
And they ate ,
and were satisfied ;
and they took up the broken pieces left over ,
seven baskets full .
*
And there were about four thousand people .
*
And he sent them away ;
and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples ,
and went to the district of Dalmanu '
