15:32-38 |
8:1-9 |
| {32} Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. {33} And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? {34} And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. {35} And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. {36} And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. {37} And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full. {38} And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. | {1} In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them, {2} I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat: {3} And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far. {4} And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness? {5} And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. {6} And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people. {7} And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them. {8} So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets. {9} And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away. |
