1. About this time another large crowd had gathered, and the people ran out of food again. Jesus called his disciples and told them,
2. “I feel sorry for these people. They have been here with me for three days, and they have nothing left to eat.
3. If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a long distance.”
4. His disciples replied, “How are we supposed to find enough food to feed them out here in the wilderness?”
5. Jesus asked, “How much bread do you have?”“Seven loaves,” they replied.
