Reading Mark chapter 8 in the Webster's Bible, public-domain text from 1833.
Verses 1–10
1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples, and saith to them,
2 I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:
3 And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for some of them came from a distance.
4 And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these [men] with bread here in the wilderness?
5 And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
6 And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and broke, and gave to his disciples to set before [them]; and they set [them] before the people.
7 And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before [them].
8 So they ate, and were satisfied: and they took up of the fragments that were left, seven baskets.
9 And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he dismissed them.
10 And forthwith he entered into a boat with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.
