Jesus Feeds Four Thousand
Matthew 15:29-39
29
So Iesus went away from thence, and came neere vnto the sea of Galile, and went vp into a mountaine and sate downe there.
30
And great multitudes came vnto him, hauing with them, halt, blinde, dumme, maymed, and many other, and cast them downe at Iesus feete, and he healed them.
31
In so much that the multitude wondered, to see the dumme speake, the maimed whole, the halt to goe, and the blinde to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.
32
Then Iesus called his disciples vnto him, and said, I haue compassion on this multitude, because they haue continued with mee already three dayes, and haue nothing to eate: and I wil not let them depart fasting, least they faint in the way.
33
And his disciples saide vnto him, Whence should we get so much bread in the wildernes, as should suffice so great a multitude!
34
And Iesus said vnto them, How many loaues haue ye? And they said, Seuen, and a few litle fishes.
35
Then he commanded the multitude to sit downe on the ground,
36
And tooke the seuen loaues, and the fishes, and gaue thankes, and brake them, and gaue to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.
37
And they did all eate, and were sufficed: and they tooke vp of the fragments that remained, seuen baskets full.
38
And they that had eaten, were foure thousand men, beside women, and litle children.
39
Then Iesus sent away the multitude, and tooke ship, and came into the partes of Magdala.
