³⁷ But he answered them, ^(A)“You give them something to eat.” And ^(B)they said to him, ^(C)“Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii^[a] worth of bread and give it to them to eat?”

²¹ But Moses said, ^(A)“The people among whom I am number six hundred thousand on foot, and you have said, ‘I will give them meat, that they may eat a whole month!’ ^22 (B)Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, and be enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, and be enough for them?”

⁵ “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii^[a] and ^(A)given to the poor?”

⁴³ But his servant said, “How can I set this before a hundred men?” So he repeated, “Give them to the men, that they may eat, for thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat and have some left.’”

²⁸ But when that same servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred ^(A)denarii,^[a] and seizing him, he began to choke him, saying, ‘Pay what you owe.’
