32 And Jesus having called near his disciples, said, I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they continue with me, and they have not what they may eat; and to let them away fasting I will not, lest they faint in the way.

33 And his disciples say to him, Whence to us, in a wilderness, so many loaves, as to fill so great a multitude?

34 And Jesus saith to them, How many loaves have ye? and they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

35 And he commanded the multitudes to sit down upon the ground,

36 and having taken the seven loaves and the fishes, having given thanks, he did break, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

37 And they did all eat, and were filled, and they took up what was over of the broken pieces seven baskets full,

38 and those eating were four thousand men, apart from women and children.
