1 The miracle of the seven loaves. 11 The Jews seek signs. 15 To beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. 22 A blind man healed. 27 The people’s sundry opinions of Christ. 29 The Apostles acknowledge Christ. 31 He foretelleth his death. 33 Peter, Satan. 35 To save and lose the life. 38 To be ashamed of Christ.

In (A)those days, when there was a very great multitude, and had nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples to him, and said unto them,

I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with me three days, and have nothing to eat.

And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they would [a]faint by the way: for some of them came from far.

Then his disciples answered him, Whence can a man satisfy these with bread here in the wilderness?

And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

Then he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, brake them, and gave to his disciples to set before them, and they did set them before the people.

They had also a few small fishes: and when he had given thanks, he commanded them also to be set before them,

So they did eat, and were sufficed, and they took up of the broken meat that was left, seven baskets full.

(And they that had eaten, were about four thousand) so he sent them away.

10 (B)And anon he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
