Jesus
went on from there and walked beside the Sea of Galilee. And he went up on the
mountain and sat down there. 30 And great crowds came to him, bringing with
them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put
them at his feet, and he healed them, 31 so that the crowd wondered, when they
saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind
seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel.
Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand
32 Then Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I have
compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have
nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on
the way.” 33 And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread
in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?” 34 And Jesus said to them,
“How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven, and a few small fish.” 35 And
directing the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36 he took the seven loaves and
the fish, and having given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples,
and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37 And they all ate and were
satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over.
38 Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39 And
after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of
Magadan.
