Jesus Heals Many

29 r Jesus went on from there and walked s beside the Sea of Galilee.

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand

32 z Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, a "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." 33 And the disciples said to him, "Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?" 34 And Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, b "Seven, and a few small fish." 35 And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36 he took the seven loaves and the fish, and c having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37 And d they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of e Magadan.
