to you as you desire." And from that moment her daughter
was restored to health. 015:029 Again, moving thence, Jesus went along by the Lake of Galilee; and ascending the hill, He sat down there. 015:030 Soon great crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were crippled in feet or hands, blind or dumb, and many besides, and they hastened to lay them at His feet. And He cured them, 015:031 so that the people were amazed to see the dumb speaking, the maimed with their hands perfect, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they gave the glory to the God of Israel. 015:032 But Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, "My heart yearns over this mass of people, for it is now the third day that they have been with me and they have nothing to eat. I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they should faint on the road." 015:033 "Where can we," asked the disciples, "get bread enough in this remote place to satisfy so vast a multitude?" 015:034 "How many loaves have you?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they said, "and a few small fish." 015:035 So He bade all the people sit down on the ground, 015:036 and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples, and they to the people. 015:037 And they all ate and were satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they took up--seven full hampers. 015:038 Those who ate were 4,000 adult men, without reckoning women and children. 015:039 He then dismissed the people, went on board the boat, and came into the district of Magadan. |
