1. Not long afterwards another large crowd came together. When the people had nothing left to eat, Jesus called the disciples to him and said,
2. “I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me for three days and now have nothing to eat.
3. If I send them home without feeding them, they will faint as they go, because some of them have come a long way.”
4. His disciples asked him, “Where in this desert can anyone find enough food to feed all these people?”
5. “How much bread have you got?” Jesus asked.“Seven loaves,” they answered.
