Mark 8:1-10

American Standard Version

8 In those days, when there was again a great multitude, and they had nothing to eat, he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, ² I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: ³ and if I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way; and some of them are come from far. ⁴ And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to fill these men with ^[a]bread here in a desert place? ⁵ And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven. ⁶ And he commandeth the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he brake, and gave to his disciples, to set before them; and they set them before the multitude. ⁷ And they had a few small fishes: and having blessed them, he commanded to set these also before them. ⁸ And they ate, and were filled: and they took up, of broken pieces that remained over, seven baskets. ⁹ And they were about four thousand: and he sent them away. ¹⁰ And straightway he entered into the boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
