Feeding the Four Thousand

1 In those days, athe multitude being very great and having nothing to eat, Jesus called His disciples to Him and said to them,  
2 “I have acompassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat.  
3 And if I send them away hungry to their own houses, they will faint on the way; for some of them have come from afar.”
4 Then His disciples answered Him, “How can one satisfy these people with bread here in the wilderness?”
5 aHe asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” And they said, “Seven.”  
6 So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples to set before them; and they set them before the multitude.
7 They also had a few small fish; and ahaving blessed them, He said to set them also before them.  
8 So they ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets of leftover fragments.
9 Now those who had eaten were about four thousand. And He sent them away,
10 aimmediately got into the boat with His disciples, and came to the region of Dalmanutha.  

The Pharisees Seek a Sign

11 aThen the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him.  
12 But He asighed deeply in His spirit, and said, “Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, bno sign shall be given to this generation.”
