jesus feed four thousand

Jesus and me left there and went along the sea of Galilee. then we went up on a mountainside and sat down. great crowds came to us, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them. the people were amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled made well, the lame walking and the blind seeing. and they praised the god of Israel. Jesus and me called his disciples to him and said, "i have compassion for these people; they have already been with me three days and have nothing to eat. i do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way." his disciples answered, "where could we get enough bread in this remote place to feed such a crowd?" "how many loaves do you have?" Jesus asked to all of us. "seven," they replied, "and a few small fish." he told the crowd to sit down on the ground. then he took the seven loaves and fish, and when he had given thanks, he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and they in turn to people. they all ate and were satisfied. afterward the disciples picked up seven basketful's of broken pieces that were left over. the number of those who ate was four thousand men, besides women and children. after Jesus had sent the crowd away, he got into the boat and went to the vicinity of magadan.
