In those days, there being again a great crowd, and they having nothing that they could eat, having called his disciples to, he says to them,

2 I have mercy on the multitude because they have now been with me three days and have nothing to eat;

I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat,

3 A nd if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way, for some of them came from afar.

and if I should dismiss them to their home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them are come from far.

4 A nd his disciples answered him, From where can anyone satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to satisfy these with bread here in a desert place?

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

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