*
And Jesus went on from there and passed along the Sea of Galilee .
And he went up on the mountain ,
and sat down there .
*
And great crowds came to him ,
bringing with them the lame ,
the maimed ,
the blind ,
the dumb ,
and many others ,
and they put them at his feet ,
and he healed them ,
*
so that the throng wondered ,
when they saw the dumb speaking ,
the maimed whole ,
the lame walking ,
and the blind seeing ;
and they glorified the God of Israel .
*
Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said , "
I have compassion on the crowd ,
because they have been with me now three days ,
and have nothing to eat ;
and I am unwilling to send them away hungry ,
lest they faint on the way ."
*
And the disciples said to him , "
Where are we to get bread enough in the desert to feed so great a crowd ?"
*
And Jesus said to them , "
How many loaves have you ?"
They said , "
Seven ,
and a few small fish ."
*
And commanding the crowd to sit down on the ground ,
*
he took the seven loaves and the fish ,
and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples ,
and the disciples gave them to the crowds .
*
And they all ate and were satisfied ;
and they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over .
*
Those who ate were four thousand men ,
besides women and children .
*
And sending away the crowds ,
he got into the boat and went to the region of Mag '
adan .
