³² Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I pity these people—they’ve been here with me for three days now and have nothing left to eat; I don’t want to send them away hungry or they will faint along the road.”

³³ The disciples replied, “And where would we get enough here in the desert for all this mob to eat?”

³⁴ Jesus asked them, “How much food do you have?” And they replied, “Seven loaves of bread and a few small fish!”
