NSB(i)
1 It was one of those days when there was a great crowd of people. They had nothing to eat so he called his disciples.
2 Jesus said: »I am concerned for these people because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.
3 »If I send them away to their houses with no food they will be weak and faint. Some of them have a long way to go.«
4 His disciples answered, »How could we get enough bread in this desolate place?«
5 Jesus responded: »How much bread do you have?« They said: »Seven loaves.«
6 He made the people sit on the ground. Then he took the seven loaves and gave thanks. He gave the broken bread to his disciples and they served the people.
7 They had some small fish. After blessing them he had them serve the people in the same way.
8 After eating they picked up seven baskets full of food.
9 About four thousand ate. Then he sent them away.
10 Immediately he entered a boat and he and his disciples traveled to Dalmanutha.
