Matthew 15:32-39

Moffatt(i) 32 Then Jesus called his disciples and said, "I am sorry for the crowd; they have been three days with me now, and they have nothing to eat. I will not send them away starving, in case they faint on the road." 33 The disciples said to him, "Where are we to get loaves enough in a desert to satisfy such a crowd?" 34 Jesus said to them, "How many loaves have you got?" They said, "Seven, and some little fish." 35 So he ordered the crowd to recline on the ground. 36 He took the seven loaves and the fish and after giving thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds. 37 So the people all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up the fragments left over and filled seven large baskets with them. 38 The men who ate numbered four thousand, apart from the children and the women. 39 Then he sent the crowd away, got into the boat and went to the territory of Magadan.
