rsv Mark:8:1-10
rsv@Mark:8:1 @ 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,
rsv@Mark:8:2 @ "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat;
rsv@Mark:8:3 @ 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."
rsv@Mark:8:4 @ And his disciples answered him, "How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?"
rsv@Mark:8:5 @ And he asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven."
rsv@Mark:8:6 @ 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.
rsv@Mark:8:7 @ And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them.
rsv@Mark:8:8 @ And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.
rsv@Mark:8:9 @ And there were about four thousand people.
rsv@Mark:8:10 @ And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanu'tha.
