3 and if I shall let them away fasting to their home, they will faint in the way, for certain of them are come from far.'
If I send them away fasting to their home, they will faint on the way, and some of them have come a long way."
4 And his disciples answered him, 'Whence shall any one be able these here to feed with bread in a wilderness?'
His disciples answered him, "From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
5 And he was questioning them, 'How many loaves have ye?' and they said, 'Seven.'
He asked them, "How many loaves do you have?" They said, "Seven."
6 And he commanded the multitude to sit down upon the ground, and having taken the seven loaves, having given thanks, he brake, and was giving to his disciples that they may set before [them]; and they did set before the multitude.
