1 In those days, the crowd again being great and not having what they might eat, having summoned the disciples, He says to them, 2 “I have compassion toward the crowd, because already three days they continue with Me and have nothing that they might eat. 3 And if I shall dismiss them hungry to their house, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from afar.” 4 And His disciples answered Him, “From where will anyone be able to satisfy these with loaves here in a wilderness?” 5 And He was asking them, “How many loaves do you? have?” And they said, “Seven.” 6 And He commands the crowd to recline on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, He broke them and was giving them to His disciples to set before them. And they set them before the crowd. 7 And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, He said to set before them these also. 8 And they ate and were satisfied, and they took up an abundance of fragments—seven baskets. 9 And there were about four thousand. And He dismissed them. 10 And immediately, having entered into the boat with His disciples, He went to the parts of Dalmanutha. 11 And the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him. 12 And having sighed deeply in His spirit, He says, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Truly I say to you?, no sign will be given to this generation.” 13 And having left them, having embarked again, He went away to the other side. 14 And they forgot to take loaves, and except one loaf they had nothing with them in the boat. 15 And He was instructing them, saying, “Watch! Take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.” 16 And they were reasoning with one another because they had no loaves. 17 And having known, He says to them, “Why do you? reason that you? have no loaves? Do you? not yet perceive, nor do you? understand? Do you? have your? heart hardened? 18 ‘Having eyes, do you? not see? And having ears, do you? not hear?’ And do you? not remember?
