1 In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them,2 “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat.3 And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.”4 And his disciples answered him, “How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place?”5 And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”6 And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and having given thanks, he broke them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.7 And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them.8 And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.9 And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away.
Matthew 15
29 A odšed odtud Ježíš, šel podle moře Galilejského, a vstoupiv na horu, posadil se tam.30 I přišli k němu zástupové mnozí, majíce s sebou kulhavé, slepé, němé, polámané a jiné mnohé. I kladli je k nohám Ježíšovým, a on uzdravil je,31 Takže se zástupové divili, vidouce, ano němí mluví, polámaní zdraví jsou, kulhaví chodí, slepí vidí. I velebili Boha Izraelského.32 Ježíš pak svolav učedlníky své, řekl: Líto mi zástupu, ješto již tři dni trvají se mnou a nemají, co by jedli; a rozpustiti jich lačných nechci, aby nezhynuli na cestě.33 I řekli mu učedlníci jeho: I kde bychom vzali tolik chleba na této poušti, abychom takový zástup nasytili?34 I řekl jim Ježíš: Kolik chlebů máte? A oni řkou: Sedm a málo rybiček.35 I rozkázal zástupům, aby se posadili na zemi.36 A vzav těch sedm chlebů a ryby, učiniv díky, lámal a dal učedlníkům svým, a učedlníci zástupu.37 I jedli všickni a nasyceni jsou. A sebrali, což zbylo drobtů, sedm košů plných.38 Bylo pak těch, kteříž jedli, čtyři tisíce mužů kromě žen a dětí.39 A rozpustiv zástupy, vstoupil na lodí. I přišel do krajiny Magdala.
