Expanded Bible

More than Four Thousand Fed^(A)

³² Jesus called his ·followers [disciples] to him and said, “I ·feel sorry [have compassion] for these people, because they have already been with me three days, and they have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry. They might ·faint [collapse] while going home.”

³³ His ·followers [disciples] asked him, “·How [^LFrom where] can we get enough bread in this ·remote place [desolate place; desert] to feed ·all these people [^Lso great a crowd]?”

³⁴ Jesus asked, “How many loaves of bread do you have?”

They answered, “Seven, and a few small fish.”
