2I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;
3If 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.
4And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?
5And he put the question, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes.
6And 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.
7And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.
8And they took the food, and had enough; and they took up seven baskets full of the broken bits.
