And he commanded the multitude to recline in order on the ground: and taking the seven loaves, having given thanks he brake them, and gave to his disciples, that they should set before the people; and they distributed them to the multitude.

And they did eat and were filled and they took up what remained of the fragments, seven baskets.
And the persons who had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.
And immediately going into the vessel with his disciples, he came into the coasts of Dalmanutha.
