New Testament
Mark 8:1-9
Jesus Feeds More Than Four Thousand
81In those days, when there was again a large crowd and they had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples and said to them, 2“I feel compassion for the crowd because they have already stayed with me three days and do not have anything to eat. 3If I send them home hungry, they will faint on the way. Some of them have come from a long distance.”
4His disciples replied, “Where can anyone get enough bread to feed these people here in this deserted place?”
5He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”
“Seven,” they said.
6He commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves, gave thanks, and broke them. He gave the pieces to his disciples to distribute to the crowd, and they did so. 7They also had a few small fish. He blessed them and said that these should be distributed as well. 8The people ate and were satisfied. They picked up seven basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 9About four thousand men were there. Then he sent them away.
