32 Jesus called his disciples together and told them, "I feel sorry for these people. They have been with me for three days, and they don’t have anything to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry. They might faint on their way home."
33 His disciples said, "This place is like a desert. Where can we find enough food to feed such a crowd?"
34 Jesus asked them how much food they had. They replied, "Seven small loaves of bread15.34 small loaves of bread: See the note at 14.17. and a few little fish."
35 After Jesus had told the people to sit down, 36 he took the seven loaves of bread and the fish and gave thanks. He then broke them and handed them to his disciples, who passed them around to the crowds.
37 Everyone ate all they wanted, and the leftovers filled seven large baskets.
38 There were 4,000 men who ate, not counting the women and children.
39 After Jesus had sent the crowds away, he got into a boat and sailed across the lake. He came to shore near the town of Magadan.15.39 Magadan: The location is unknown.
