4 The disciples said, “This place is like a desert. Where can we find enough food to feed such a crowd?”
5 Jesus asked them how much food they had. They replied, “Seven small loaves of bread.”
6 After Jesus told the crowd to sit down, he took the seven loaves and gave thanks. He then broke the loaves and handed them to his disciples, who passed them out to the crowd.
7 They also had a few little fish, and after Jesus had blessed these, he told the disciples to pass them around.
8-9 The crowd of about 4,000 people ate all they wanted, and the leftovers filled seven large baskets.As soon as Jesus had sent the people away,
10 he got into the boat with the disciples and crossed to the territory near Dalmanutha.
11 The Pharisees came out and started an argument with Jesus. They wanted to test him by asking for a sign from heaven.
