Matthew:15:29-39
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And ,
passing on from thence ,
Jesus came near the sea of Galilee ,
and ,
going up into the mountain ,
was sitting there .
*
And there came unto him large multitudes ,
having with themselves the lame ,
the maimed ,
the blind ,
the dumb ,
and many others ,
and they cast them near his feet ,
and he cured them ;
*
so that the multitude marvelled ,
seeing the dumb speaking ,
the lame walking ,
and the blind seeing ,
and they glorified the God of Israel .
*
But ,
Jesus ,
calling near his disciples ,
said My compassions are moved towards the multitude ,
because even now ,
three days ,
abide they with me ,
and they have nothing to eat ,
and ,
to dismiss them fasting ,
I am not willing ,
lest by any means they faint in the way .
*
And his disciples say unto him Whence ,
to us ,
in a wilderness ,
loaves in such numbers as to fill a multitude ,
so great ?
*
And Jesus saith unto them How many ,
loaves have ye ?
And ,
they ,
said ,
Seven ,
and a few small fishes .
*
And ,
sending word to the multitude to recline upon the ground ,
*
he took the seven loaves ,
and the fishes ,
and ,
giving thanks ,
brake ,
and began giving to his disciples ,
and ,
the disciples ,
to the multitudes .
*
And they all did eat and were filled ,
and ,
the remainder of the broken pieces ,
took they up ,
seven hampers ,
full .
*
And ,
they who did eat ,
were four thousand men ,
besides women and children .
*
And ,
dismissing the multitudes ,
he went up into the boat ,
and came into the bounds of Magadan .
