³⁰A large crowd came to him, bringing with them the lame, blind, disabled, those unable to talk, and many others. They laid them at his feet, and he cured them. ³¹The crowd was amazed to see mute people talking, the disabled cured, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. So they praised the God of Israel.

Jesus Feeds More Than Four Thousand—Mark 8:1–10

³²Jesus called his disciples and said, “I feel sorry for the people. They have been with me three days now and have nothing to eat. I don’t want to send them away hungry, or they may become exhausted on their way home.”

³³His disciples asked him, “Where could we get enough bread to feed such a crowd in this place where no one lives?”

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

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

³⁵He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground. ³⁶He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks to God. Then he broke the bread and gave it to the disciples, and they gave the bread and fish to the people.

³⁷All of them ate as much as they wanted. The disciples picked up the leftover pieces and filled seven large baskets. ³⁸Four thousand men had eaten. (This number does not include the women and children who had eaten.)
