Mark 8:1-9 And in those days, when the multitude was great, and had nothing to eat, he called his disciples, and said to them:

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And in those days, when the multitude was great, and had nothing to eat, he called his disciples, and said to them: ² I compassionate this multitude; for, lo, three days have they continued with me, and they have nothing to eat. ³ And if I send them to their homes fasting, they will faint by the way: for some of them have come from a great distance. ⁴ His disciples say to him: Whence can one, here in the desert, satisfy all these with bread? ⁵ And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? They say to him, Seven. ⁶ And he directed the multitudes to recline on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and blessed, and brake, and grave to his disciples to set forth; and they set before the multitudes. ⁷ And there were a few fishes; and them he also blessed, and ordered them set forth. ⁸ And they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up seven baskets of the remaining fragments. ⁹ And the men who had eaten, were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
