"He has fashioned out every fruit to perfection - and he makes the deaf to hear and comprehend, and the mute to speak again." |
|

|
In these days when there was again a great crowd having nothing to eat, he summoned his students, and he said to them: |
|
|
|
"I have pity on the crowd, because they have put up with me now for 3 days and have nothing to eat. |
|
|
|
If I release them fasting to their houses, they will pass out along the Way, and some of them have arrived from a far distance." |
|
|
|
His students replied: "How is he able to satisfy with the breads here in - this desert?" |
|
|
|
He questioned them: "How many Breads do you have?" They said: "7." |
|
|
|
He then ordered the crowd to recline on the Way; and he took the 7 Breads, and after praising well he broke them, and entrusted them to his students; and they set them out for the crowd. |
|
|
|
And they had some tiny fish; and after speaking well, he said that these should be set too!. |
|
|
|
And they ate and were fatterned; and they took up the broken pieces that over-flowed, 7 caskets full. |
|
|
|
There happened to be 4000. And he released them. |
