8 Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, I have compassion
on the multitude because they have been with me three days and they
have nothing to eat. If I send them away to their own houses fasting,
they will faint by the way. Many of them came from afar. His disciples
answered Him, How can these men be supplied with bread here in the
wilderness? Jesus asked them, How many loaves have ye? They answered,
Seven.
Then Jesus told the people to sit down on the ground. He took the seven
loaves and gave thanks. He broke the loaves and gave them to His
disciples. Then His disciples set them before the people. They also had
a few small fish which Jesus blessed and told the disciples to set them
also before the people. So they did eat and were filled. After this the
disciples took up the broken fragments and filled seven baskets. The
number of those who had eaten was about four thousand.
After Jesus sent the multitude on their way, He immediately got into a
boat with His disciples and came into Dalmanutha. Here the Pharisees
came forth and began to question Him, seeking of Him a sign from
heaven, and testing Him. To this Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and
said, Why does this generation seek after a sign? Verily I say to you,
There shall be no sign given to this generation. Then He left them and
departed again by boat to the other side.
