Matthew 15:30-39 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

30. And large crowds came to him, having with them the mute, blind, lame, crippled, and many others, and they put them down at his feet, and he healed them.

31. So then the crowd was astonished when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing, and they praised the God of Israel.

32. And Jesus summoned his disciples and said, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have remained with me three days already and do not have anything to eat, and I do not want to send them away hungry lest they give out on the way.”

33. And the disciples said to him, “Where in this desolate place can we get so much bread that such a great crowd could be satisfied?”

34. And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” So they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”

35. And commanding the crowd to recline for a meal on the ground,

36. he took the seven loaves and the fish and after he had given thanks, he broke them and began giving them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.

37. And they all ate and were satisfied, and they picked up what was left over of the broken pieces, seven baskets full.

38. Now those who ate were four thousand men, in addition to women and children.

39. And after he sent away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of Magadan.
