Jesus Heals Many

29 aJesus went on from there and walked bbeside the Sea of Galilee. And he cwent up on the mountain and sat down there. 30And great crowds came to him, bringing with them dthe lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, 31 eso that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, fthe crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And gthey glorified hthe God of Israel.

Jesus Feeds the Four Thousand

32 iThen Jesus called his disciples to him and said, j“I have compassion on the crowd because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.” 33And the disciples said to him, “Where are we to get enough bread in such a desolate place to feed so great a crowd?” 34And Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, kSeven, and a few small fish.” 35And directing the crowd to sit down on the ground, 36he took the seven loaves and the fish, and lhaving given thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. 37And mthey all ate and were satisfied. And they took up seven baskets full of the broken pieces left over. 38Those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. 39And after sending away the crowds, he got into the boat and went to the region of nMagadan.
