LEB(i)
1 In those days there was* again a large crowd, and they did not have* anything they could eat. Summoning the disciples, he said to them,
2 "I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with me three days already and do not have anything to eat.
3 And if I send them away hungry to their homes they will give out on the way, and some of them have come from far away."
4 And his disciples answered him, "Where is anyone able to feed these people with bread here in the desert?"
5 And he asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" So they said, "Seven."
6 And he commanded the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground, and taking the seven loaves, after he* had given thanks he broke them* and began giving* them* to his disciples so that they could set them* before them.* And they set them* before the crowd.
7 And they had a few small fish, and after* giving thanks for them, he said to set these before them also.
8 And they ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the broken pieces that were left, seven baskets full.
9 Now there were about four thousand. And he sent them away.
