Daily bread

Mark 8:1-9

1 In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and saith unto 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 divers of them came from far. 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 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. 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.

Marcos 8:1-9

1 En aquellos días, siendo tan grande la multitud, y no teniendo qué comer, Jesús llamó a sus discípulos y les dijo: 2 “Tengo compasión de la multitud, porque son ya tres días que están conmigo, y no tienen qué comer;” 3 “y si los envío en ayunas a sus casas, desmayarán en el camino; porque algunos de ellos han venido de lejos.” 4 Y sus discípulos le respondieron: ¿De dónde podrá alguien saciar de pan a éstos aquí en el desierto? 5 Y les preguntó: “¿Cuántos panes tenéis?” Y ellos dijeron: Siete. 6 Entonces mandó a la multitud que se sentase en tierra; y tomando los siete panes, habiendo dado gracias, los partió, y dio a sus discípulos para que los pusiesen delante; y los pusieron delante de la multitud. 7 Tenían también unos pocos pececillos; y los bendijo, y mandó que también los pusiesen delante. 8 Y comieron, y se saciaron; y levantaron de los pedazos que habían sobrado, siete canastos. 9 Y los que comieron eran como cuatro mil; y los despidió.
