*
And departing thence ,
Jesus came near the lake of Galilee ;
and going up the mountain ,
he sat down there .
*
And great multitudes came to him ,
having with them those who were lame ,
blind ,
dumb ,
maimed ,
and many others ;
and they laid them down at his feet ,
and he healed them ;
*
so that the multitude wondered ,
when they saw the dumb speaking ,
the maimed sound ,
and the lame walking ,
and the blind seeing ;
and they gave glory to the God of Israel .
*
And Jesus having called his disciples to him ,
said ,
I have compassion on the multitude ,
because they have remained with me now three days ,
and have nothing to eat ;
and I am not willing to send them away fasting ,
lest they faint on the road .
*
And the disciples say to him ,
Whence should we have so many loaves in a wilderness ,
as to fill so great a multitude ?
*
And Jesus saith to them ,
How many loaves have ye ?
And they said ,
Seven ,
and a few small fishes .
*
And bidding the multitude to lie down on the ground ,
*
he took the seven loaves and the fishes ,
and gave thanks ,
and broke ,
and gave them to the disciples ,
and the disciples to the multitudes .
*
And they all ate ,
and were filled ;
and they took up of the fragments that remained ,
seven baskets full .
*
And they who ate were four thousand men ,
besides children and women .
*
Then he sent away the multitudes ,
and went on board the boat ,
and came into the borders of Magadan .
