Feeding the 4000

MATTHEW

Matthew 15:28-36
28 And Jesus departed from thence, and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee; and went up into a mountain, and sat down there.

29 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them some lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and he healed them; insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see. And they glorified the God of Israel.

30 Then Jesus called his disciples and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat; and I will not send them away fasting; lest they faint in the way.

31 And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude.

32 And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

33 And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

34 And he took the seven loaves, and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake the bread, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples, to the multitude.

35 And they did all eat, and were filled. And they took up of the broken meat seven baskets full.

36 And they that did eat, were four thousand men, besides women and children.

MARK

Mark 8:1-8
1 In those days, the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and said unto them,

2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat; and if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way; for divers of them came from afar.

3 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these, so great a multitude, with bread, here in the wilderness?

4 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven

5 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground; and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before the people; and they did set them before the people.

6 And they had a few small fishes; and he blessed them, and commanded to set them also before the people, that they should eat.

7 So they did eat and were filled, and they took up of the broken bread that was left, seven baskets.

8 And they that had eaten were about four thousand; and he sent them away.
