Jesus gives food to 4,000 people

8 At that time, another large crowd had come to hear Jesus. The people had nothing to eat. Jesus asked his disciples to come to him. He said to them, ² ‘I feel sorry for this crowd. They have been here with me now for three days and they do not have any food. ³ I do not want to send them back to their homes while they are hungry. They might fall down during their journey because they are weak. Some of them have travelled a long way to come here.’
