CLV(i)
1 In those days, there being again a vast throng, and not having anything they may be eating, calling His disciples to Him, He is saying to them,
2 I have compassion on the throng, for already for three days they are remaining with Me, and they have nothing that they may be eating."
3 And, should I ever be dismissing them, fasting, to their homes, they will be fainting on the road, and some of them have arrived from afar."
4 And His disciples answered Him that "Whence can anyone satisfy these with bread here in a wilderness?
5 And He inquired of them, "How many cakes of bread have you?Now they say, "Seven."
6 And He is charging the throng to be leaning back on the earth. And taking the seven cakes of bread, giving thanks, He breaks and gave to His disciples, that they may place them before them. And they place them before the throng."
7 And they had a few small fishes. And, blessing them, He said to place these also before them."
8 And they all ate and are satisfied. And they pick up of the surplus fragments, seven hampers."
9 Now those eating were about four thousand. And He dismisses them.
