In context
1 In those days, there being again a great crowd, and they having nothing that they could eat, having called his disciples to [him], he says to them,
2 I have compassion on the crowd, because they have stayed with me already three days and they have not anything they can eat,
3 and if I should dismiss them to their home fasting, they will faint on the way; for some of them are come from far.
4 And his disciples answered him, Whence shall one be able to satisfy these with bread here in a desert place?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 And he commanded the crowd to sit down on the ground. And having taken the seven loaves, he gave thanks, and broke [them] and gave [them] to his disciples, that they might set [them] before [them]; and they set [them] before the crowd.
