32 Then Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) called his apprentices and told them, “I feel sorry for this crowd because they’ve been out here with me for three days and haven’t had anything to eat, but I’m not happy to just send them away hungry, in case they collapse on the way home.”

33 “Out here in the wilderness,” replied his apprentices, “where could we possibly get enough bread to feed a crowd this size?”

34 “How many buns do you have?” asked Yeshua.

“Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.”

35 Then, instructing the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36 he took the seven buns and the fish, and gave thanks. Then he broke them apart and gave the pieces to his apprentices to distribute to the crowds. 37 Everyone ate, and when they were full, they collected seven baskets full of the leftover food. 38 There were about four thousand families there.

39 After sending the crowds home, Yeshua got into the boat, and they went to the regions of Magadan.
