Williams(i)
1 In those days when a great crowd again had gathered and they had nothing to eat, He called His disciples to Him, and said,
2 "My heart goes out in pity for these people, for they have been staying with me three days now, and they have nothing left to eat.
3 And if I send them home hungry, they will give out on the road, for some of them are a long way from home."
4 But His disciples answered Him, "Where can anyone get bread enough here in this destitute place, to give these people plenty?"
5 Then He asked them, "How many loaves have you?" They answered, "Seven."
6 So He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. Then He took the seven loaves and gave thanks and broke them in pieces and gave them to His disciples to pass, and they passed them to the people.
7 And they had a few small fish, and He blessed them and told them to pass these, too, to the people,
8 And they ate and had plenty. And they took up the pieces left over, which made seven hamper-basketfuls.
9 About four thousand people were there. Then He sent them away.
