1 In those dayes the multitude being very great, and hauing nothing to eat. Iesus called his disciples vnto him, & saith vnto them,
2 I haue compassion on the multitude, because they haue now bene with me three daies, and haue nothing to eat:
3 And if I send them away fasting to their owne houses, they will faint by the way: for diuers of them came from farre.
4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfie these men with bread here in the wildernes?
5 And hee asked them, How many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen.
6 And he commanded the people to sit downe on the ground: and he tooke the seuen loaues, and gaue thanks, and brake, and gaue 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 commaunded to set them also before them.
8 So they did eate, and were filled: and they tooke vp, of the broken meate that was left, seuen baskets.
9 And they that had eaten were about foure thousand, and he sent them away.
10 ΒΆ And straightway he entred into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
