^{1 Ref} In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,

^{2 Ref} I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;

^{3 Ref} If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.

^{4 Ref} And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?

^{5 Ref} And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.

^{6 Ref} And he made the people be seated on the earth: and he took the seven cakes and, having given praise, he gave the broken bread to his disciples to put before them; and they put it before the people.

^{7 Ref} And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.

^{8 Ref} And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.

⁹ And there were about four thousand people: and he sent them away.

^{10 Ref} And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha.

^{1 Ref} In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them,

^{2 Ref} I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat:

^{3 Ref} and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them are come from far.

^{4 Ref} And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to fill these men with bread here in a desert place?

^{5 Ref} And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

^{6 Ref} And he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.

^{7 Ref} And they had a few small fishes: and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them.

^{8 Ref} And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets.

⁹ And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

^{10 Ref} And straightway he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
