And Jesus departed from there and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee, and He went up into a mountain and sat down there. And great multitudes came unto Jesus, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and they cast them down at Jesus’ feet; and He healed them: Insomuch that the multitude wondered when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

Then Jesus called His disciples unto Himself, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with Me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way.

And His disciples said unto Him, from where should we have so much bread in the wilderness, as to fill so great a multitude? And Jesus said unto them, How many loaves have you got? And they said, Seven, and a few little fishes. And Jesus commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And Jesus took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and broke them, and gave them to His disciples, and the disciples gave them to the multitude. And they all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken food that was left seven baskets full. And they that did eat were four thousand men, beside women and children. And Jesus sent away the multitude, and took ship, and came into the coasts of Magdala. Matthew 15 vs 29-39.
