*
In those days ,
there being again a great multitude ,
and they having nothing to eat ,
he called the disciples to him ,
and saith to them ,
*
I have compassion on the multitude ,
because they have remained with me now three days ,
and they have nothing to eat .
*
And if I send them away fasting to their houses ,
they will faint on the road ;
and some of them have come from altar .
*
And his disciples answered him ,
Whence can ally one satisfy these men with bread here in a wilderness ?
*
And he asked them ,
How many loaves have ye ?
And they said ,
Seven .
*
And he ordered the multitude to lie down on the ground ;
and he took the seven loaves ,
and gave thanks ,
and broke ,
and gave to his disciples to set before them ;
and they set them before the multitude .
*
And they had a few small fishes ;
and having blessed them ,
he set them before them .
*
And they ate ,
and were filled ;
and they took up of the fragments that remained ,
seven baskets .
*
And they were about four thousand ;
and he sent them away .
*
And immediately going on board the boat with his disciples ,
he came into the region of Dalmanutha .
*
And the Pharisees came out ,
and began to question with him ,
seeking of him a sign from heaven ,
trying him .
*
And sighing deeply in his spirit ,
he saith ,
Why doth this generation seek for a sign ?
Truly do I say to you ,
A sign will not he given to this generation .
*
And leaving them ,
he again went on board and crossed to the other side .
*
And they had forgotten to take bread ,
and had not in the boat with them more than one loaf .
*
And he charged them ,
saying ,
Take heed ,
beware of the leaven of the Pharisees ,
and the leaven of Herod .
*
And they reasoned among themselves ,
saying ,
It is because we have no bread .
*
And knowing it ,
he saith to them ,
Why are ye reasoning ,
because ye have no bread ?
Do ye not yet perceive nor understand ?
Have ye your mind still blinded ?
*
Having eyes ,
do ye not see ?
and having ears ,
do ye not hear ?
And do ye not remember ,
*
when I broke the five loaves among the five thousand ,
and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up ?
They say to him ,
Twelve .
*
When also the seven among the four thousand ,
how many baskets full of fragments did ye take up ?
And they say ,
Seven .
*
And he said to them ,
Do ye not yet understand ?
