Matthew 15:32-39

Lamsa(i) 32 Jesus then called his disciples and said to them, I have compassion for this people, for they have remained with me three days, and they have nothing to eat; and if I dismiss them fasting, they might faint on the way; but this I do not wish to do. 33 His disciples said to him, Where can we get bread in this desolate place to feed all this people? 34 Jesus said to them, How many loaves of bread have you? They said to him, Seven, and a few small fish. 35 So he ordered the people to sit on the ground. 36 Then he took the seven loaves of bread and the fish, and gave thanks, and he broke them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 37 And all of them did eat and were satisfied; and they took up of the fragments that were left over, seven full baskets. 38 And those who did eat were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And when he had dismissed the people, he went up to the boat and came to the border of Magadan.
