5. He asked them, “How many loaves do you have?”They said, “Seven.”
6. He commanded the people to sit down on the ground. Taking the seven loaves and giving thanks, He broke them and gave them to His disciples to serve. And they served the crowd.
7. And they had a few small fish. And blessing them, He commanded that these also be served them.
8. So they ate and were filled. And they collected seven baskets of the broken pieces that were left.
9. There were about four thousand who had eaten, and He sent them away.
10. He immediately entered a boat with His disciples and came to the region of Dalmanutha.
11. The Pharisees came up and began to debate with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven to test Him.
12. He sighed deeply in His spirit and said, “Why does this generation look for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.”
13. Then He left them and, entering the boat again, departed to the other side.
