1
In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,
2
"I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.
3
And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar."
4
Then His disciples answered Him, "How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?"
5
He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven."
6
So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
