| Jesus' sharing of the loaves and fishes is recorded by all four gospel writers and clearly seems to have been more than one event.
|-
| Here in '''verse 2''' it appears some of the people do not have enough food to make it back to their own home without serious hunger so that some might faint<Ref name="ekluō">{{1590}}</Ref>. 
|-
| '''V4-5''' Again, the disciples did not have sufficient food in their personal provisions. They only had seven loaves .
|-
| In '''Verses 6 and 7''', they again set(to place beside or near or set before)<Ref name="paratithemi">{{3908}}</Ref> this food, including 2 fish, before all the people who have 
|-
| In '''verse 8''' we see that the people all sitting down again in these groups could now see with the same sharing that they all could "eat<Ref name="phago">{{5315}}</Ref>, and be filled<Ref name="chortazo">{{5526}}</Ref>" and still have enough to replenish the stores of the disciples.
|-
| '''9V''' Now they could be sent away safely because they had '''eaten and been filled'''.
|-
| According to some, "This story (of the loaves and fishes) is popular for children as it teaches the importance of sharing, making the most of what you have, and that Christians must place their trust in God. This being in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ within the Christian [[religion]]."<Ref>Twinkle.com</Ref>

== A very great multitude ==

[1] In those days the multitude<Ref name="ochlos">{{3793}}</Ref> being very great<Ref name="pampolus">{{3827}}</Ref> , and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto them,

[2]  <span style="color:red">'''I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now been with me three days, and have nothing to eat:'''</span>

[3] <span style="color:red">'''And if I send them away fasting<Ref name="nestis">{{3523}}</Ref> to their own houses, they will faint<Ref name="ekluō">{{1590}}</Ref> by the way: for divers (''[[5100|some]]'') of them came from far.'''</span>

===Satisfy these men ===

[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, <span style="color:red">'''How many loaves have ye?'''</span> And they said, '''Seven'''.

== Commanded the people ==

[6] And he commanded the people to sit down on the ground: and he took the seven loaves, and gave thanks, and brake, and gave to his disciples to set before them; and they did set them before the people.

[7] And they had a few small fishes: and he blessed, and commanded to set them also before them.(''i.e. food placed on a table'')<Ref name="paratithemi">{{3908}}</Ref>

=== Seven Baskets left over ===

[8] So they did eat, and were filled: and they took up of the broken meat that was left seven baskets.

[9] And they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he sent them away.

== Parts of Dalmanutha ==

[10] And straightway he entered into a ship with his disciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha.

== The Pharisees Demand a Sign ==

[11] And the [[Pharisees]] came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him.

=== Sighed deeply ===

[12] And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith,  <span style="color:red">'''Why doth this generation<Ref name="genea">{{1074}}</Ref> [[seek]] after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation.<Ref name="genos">{{1074}}</Ref>'''</span>

[13] And he left them, and entering into the ship again departed to the other side.

== The Leaven of the Pharisees and Herod ==

[14] Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, neither had they in the ship with them more than one loaf.

[15] And he charged them, saying,  <span style="color:red">'''Take heed, beware of the [[leaven]]<Ref name="leavenp">{{leavenp}}</Ref> of the [[Pharisees]], and of the [[leaven]]<Ref name="leavenp">{{leavenp}}</Ref> of [[Herod]]. </span>'''

=== Reasoned among themselves ===

[16] And they reasoned among themselves, saying, '''It is because we have no bread.'''

[17] And when Jesus knew it, he saith unto them,  <span style="color:red">'''Why reason ye, because ye have no bread? perceive ye not yet, neither understand? have ye your heart yet hardened?</span>'''

[18]  <span style="color:red">'''Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not?<Ref name="hearsee">{{hearsee}}</Ref>  and do ye not remember?</span>'''

[19]  <span style="color:red">'''When I brake the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? They say unto him, Twelve.</span>'''<Ref name="loavfish">{{loavfish}}</Ref>

[20]  <span style="color:red">'''And when the seven among four thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took ye up? And they said, Seven.</span>'''<Ref name="loavfish">{{loavfish}}</Ref>

[21] And he said unto them,  <span style="color:red">'''How is it that ye do not understand?</span>'''

== Jesus Heals a Blind Man at Bethsaida ==

[22] And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

[23] And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.

[24] And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.

[25] After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

[26] And he sent him away to his house, saying,  <span style="color:red">'''Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.</span>'''

== Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ==

[27] And Jesus went out, and his disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way he asked his disciples, saying unto them,  <span style="color:red">'''Whom do men say that I am?</span>'''

[28] And they answered, [[John the Baptist]]: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the [[prophets]].

[29] And he saith unto them,  <span style="color:red">'''But whom say ye that I am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him, Thou art the [[Christ]].</span>'''

[30] And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

==Jesus Foretells His Death and Resurrection==

[31] And he began to teach them, that the [[Son of man]] must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders, and of the chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.

[32] And he spake that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

[33] But when he had turned about and looked on his disciples, he rebuked Peter, saying,  <span style="color:red">'''Get thee behind me, Satan: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but the things that be of men.</span>'''

[34] And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them,  <span style="color:red">'''Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.</span>'''

[35] <span style="color:red">'''For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.</span>'''

[36] <span style="color:red">'''For what shall it profit<Ref name="opheleo">{{5623}}</Ref> a man, if he shall gain the whole [[world]], and lose his own soul?</span>'''

[37] <span style="color:red">'''Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?</span>'''

[38] <span style="color:red">'''Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this [[Adultery|adulterous]] and [[sin]]ful [[Generation to generation|generation]]; of him also shall the [[Son of man]] be ashamed, when he cometh in the [[glory]] of his [[Father]] with the holy angels.</span>'''
