JESUS FED 4,000

Matthew 15

   ³³And his disciples say unto him, Whence should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude?

   ³⁴And Jesus saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes.

   ³⁵And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground.

   ³⁶And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

   ³⁷And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets full.

   ³⁸And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children.

Mark 8

   ¹In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

   ²I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:

   ³And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.

   ⁴And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?

   ⁵And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.

   ⁶And 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 them; and they did set them before the people.

   ⁷And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.

   ⁸So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

   ⁹And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
