Mateus 15

Jesus miraculously fed over 4,000 people.

32 Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said to us, "This crowd of people has been with me for three days and have nothing left to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away while they are still hungry, because if I did that, they might faint on the way home." 33 We disciples said to him, "In this place where nobody lives, ◄we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?► [RHQ]" 34 Jesus asked us, "How many small loaves do you have?" We said to him, "We have seven small loaves and a few cooked fish." 35 He told the people to sit on the ground. 36 Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked God for them, he broke them into pieces, and he kept giving them to us. Then we kept distributing them to the crowd. 37,38 Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously, all those people ate and had plenty to satisfy them. There were 4,000 men who ate, but no one counted the women and the children who also ate. Then we disciples collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets with them.
