- Departing from there, Jesus went along by the Sea of Galilee, and having gone up on the mountain, He was sitting there.
- And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.
- So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.
- And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way."
- The disciples said to Him, "Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?"
|
- And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few small fish."
- And He directed the people to sit down on the ground;
- and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and giving thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people.
- And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large baskets full.
- And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
|
- And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.
