Mark 8: 1 - 10
|
| 1 | In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him, and said to them, |
| 2 | "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; |
| 3 | and if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way; and some of them have come a long way." |
| 4 | And his disciples answered him, "How can one feed these men with bread here in the desert?" |
| 5 | And he asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They said, "Seven." |
| 6 | And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd. |
| 7 | And they had a few small fish; and having blessed them, he commanded that these also should be set before them. |
| 8 | And they ate, and were satisfied; and they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full. |
| 9 | And there were about four thousand people. |
| 10 | And he sent them away; and immediately he got into the boat with his disciples, and went to the district of Dalmanu'tha. |
