Mark 8:1-10
The Feeding of the Four Thousand

1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples [unto him], and saith unto them,

1:

2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

2:

3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

3:

4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?

4:

5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

5:

6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they did set [them] before the people.

6:

7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].

7:

8 So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken [meat] that was left seven baskets.

8:

9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

9:

10 And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

10:
