32 Jesus Feeds More than Four Thousand People
Then Jesus called his disciples and said, “I have compassion for the crowd because they have already been with me for three days and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away without food, or they may faint on the road.”
33 The disciples asked him, “Where in the wilderness are we to get enough bread to feed such a crowd?”
34 Jesus asked them,“How many loaves of bread do you have?”
They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
35 Ordering the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36 he took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks. Then he broke them in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37 All of them ate until they were filled, then the disciples picked up what was left of the broken pieces—seven baskets full. 38 Now those who had eaten were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 After he sent the crowds away, he got into a boat and went to the region of Magadan.

Mark 6:34-44
34 When he got out of the boat, he saw a large crowd. He had compassion for them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he began to teach them many things.
35 When it was quite late, his disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and it’s already late. 36 Send the crowds away so that they can go to the neighboring farms and villages and buy themselves something to eat.”
37 But he answered them,“You give them something to eat.”
They asked him, “Should we go and buy 200 denarii worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”
38 He asked them,“How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and see.”
They found out and told him, “Five loaves and two fish.”
39 Then he ordered them to have all the people sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties. 41 Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed them. Then he broke the loaves in pieces and kept giving them to his disciples to set before the people. He also divided the two fish among them all. 42 All of them ate and were filled. 43 Then the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of leftover bread and fish. 44 There were 5,000 men who had eaten the loaves.
