Matthew 15:32-34

Good News Translation

Jesus Feeds Four Thousand^(A)

³² Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I feel sorry for these people, because they have been with me for three days and now have nothing to eat. I don't want to send them away without feeding them, for they might faint on their way home.”

³³ The disciples asked him, “Where will we find enough food in this desert to feed this crowd?”

³⁴ “How much bread do you have?” Jesus asked.

“Seven loaves,” they answered, “and a few small fish.”
