Mark 8:1-10
1 |
In those days, the multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them, |
2 |
I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. |
3 |
And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar. |
4 |
Then His disciples answered Him, "How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?" |
5 |
He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven." |
6 |
So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. |
7 |
They also had a few small fish; and having blessed them, He said to set them also before them. |
8 |
So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments. |
9 |
Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away, |
10 |
immediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha. |
11 |
Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him. |
