Matthew 15:32-34

J.B. Phillips New Testament

³² But Jesus quietly called his disciples to him. “My heart goes out to this crowd,” he said. “They’ve stayed with me three days now and have no more food. I don’t want to send them home without anything or they will collapse on the way.”

³³ “Where could we find enough food to feed such a crowd in this deserted spot?” said the disciples.

³⁴ “How many loaves have you?” asked Jesus. “Seven, and a few small fish,” they replied.
