Matthew 15:29-39

New King James Version

Jesus Heals Great Multitudes^(A)

^29 (B)Jesus departed from there, ^(C)skirted the Sea of Galilee, and went up on the mountain and sat down there. ^30 (D)Then great multitudes came to Him, having with them the lame, blind, mute, ^[a]maimed, and many others; and they laid them down at Jesus’ ^(E)feet, and He healed them. ³¹ So the multitude marveled when they saw the mute speaking, the ^[b]maimed made whole, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they ^(F)glorified the God of Israel.

Feeding the Four Thousand^(G)

^32 (H)Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”

^33 (I)Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?”

³⁴ Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”

And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”

³⁵ So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. ³⁶ And ^(J)He took the seven loaves and the fish and ^(K)gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. ³⁷ So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left. ³⁸ Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children. ^39 (L)And He sent away the multitude, got into the boat, and came to the region of ^[c]Magdala.
