Matt 15:32-3932 Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, "I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me
three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry,
lest they faint on the way."33 Then His disciples said to Him, "Where could we get enough bread in the
wilderness to fill such a great multitude?"34 Jesus said to them, "How many loaves do you have?" And they said, "Seven, and a few little fish."35 So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.36 And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave
them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude.37 So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of
the fragments that were left.
Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of
Magdala.

fragments.
Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away,
