1. Another time there was a great crowd with Jesus. They had nothing to eat. So Jesus called his followers to him. He said,
2. “I feel sorry for these people. They have been with me for three days, and now they have nothing to eat.
3. I cannot send them home hungry. If they leave without eating, they will faint on the way home. Some of them live a long way from here.”
4. Jesus’ followers answered, “But we are far away from any towns. Where can we get enough bread to feed all these people?”
5. Jesus asked, “How many loaves of bread do you have?”They answered, “We have seven loaves.”
