Mark 8:1-3

In those days the multitude being very great, and not having what they may eat, Jesus having called near his disciples, saith to them,

`I have compassion upon the multitude, because now three days they do continue with me, and they have not what they may eat;

and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'
