32aAnd Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, “bI feel compassion for the crowd, because they 1have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” 33And the disciples *said to Him, “Where would we get so many loaves in this desolate place to satisfy such a large crowd?” 34And Jesus *said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35And He directed the crowd to 1sit down on the ground; 36and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and agiving thanks, He broke them and kept giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven large abaskets full. 38And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
