Matthew 15:32-39

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

³² And Jesus, having summoned His disciples, said, “I feel-deep-feelings [of compassion] toward the crowd, because it is already three days they are remaining-with Me and they do not have anything they may eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, so that they may not perhaps become-exhausted^[a] on the way”. ³³ And the disciples say to Him, “From where are there so many loaves for us in a desolate place so as to fill-to-satisfaction so large a crowd?” ³⁴ And Jesus says to them, “How many loaves do you have?” And the ones said, “Seven, and a few small-fish”. ³⁵ And having ordered the crowd to fall-back on the ground [to eat], ³⁶ He took the seven loaves and the fish. And having given-thanks, He broke them and was giving them to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds. ³⁷ And they all ate and were filled-to-satisfaction. And they picked up the amount of the fragments being left-over— seven full large-baskets. ³⁸ And the ones eating were four-thousand men, apart from women and children.

The Pharisees Ask For a Sign From Heaven. No Sign Will Be Given Except Jonah’s

³⁹ And having sent away the crowds, He got into the boat and went to the districts of Magadan.
