30 And great multitudes came unto him, (A)having with them, halt, blind, dumb, [a]maimed, and many others, and cast them down, at Jesus’ feet, and he healed them.

31 Insomuch that the multitude wondered, to see the dumb speak, the maimed whole, the halt to go, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

32 (B)[b]Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on this multitude, because they have [c]continued with me already three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not let them depart fasting, lest they faint in the way.
