Introduction

¹ Jesus went on from there and passed along by [the eastern shore of] the Sea of Galilee. Then He went up on the hillside and was sitting there.

² And great crowds came to Him, bringing with them the lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they put them down at His feet; and He healed them.

³ So the crowd was amazed when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they praised and glorified the God of Israel.

⁴ Then Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, "I feel compassion for the crowd, because they have been with Me now three days and have nothing [left] to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, because they might faint [from exhaustion] on the way [home]."

⁵ The disciples said to Him, "Where are we to get enough bread in this isolated place to feed so large a crowd?"

⁶ And Jesus asked them, "How many loaves [of bread] do you have?" They replied, "Seven, and a few small fish."

⁷ He directed the crowd to sit down on the ground,

⁸ and He took the seven loaves and the fish; and when He had given thanks, He broke them and started giving them to the disciples, and the disciples [gave them] to the people.

⁹ And they all ate and were satisfied, and they gathered up seven full baskets of the broken pieces that were left over.

¹⁰ [Among] those who ate were 4,000 men, not counting women and children.

¹¹ Then Jesus sent the crowds away, got into the boat and went to the district of[7] Magadan.

¹² Now the Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus [to get something to use against Him], they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven [which would support His divine authority].

¹³ But He replied to them, "[1] When it is evening, you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red.'

¹⁴ And in the morning, 'It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and has a threatening look.' You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but cannot interpret the signs of the times?

¹⁵ An evil and [morally] unfaithful generation craves a [miraculous] sign; but no sign will be given to it, except the sign of [the prophet] Jonah." Then He left them and went away.
