Matthew 15:32-34

New Catholic Bible

³² Jesus Feeds Four Thousand Men. Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I am moved with compassion for these people, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.”

³³ The disciples said to him, “Where can we ever get enough bread in this deserted place to feed such a great crowd?” ³⁴ Jesus asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”
