Mark 8:2

The Feeding of the Four Thousand

1In those days the crowd once again became very large, and they had nothing to eat. Jesus called the disciples to Him and said,2“I have compassion for this crowd, because they have already been with Me three days and have nothing to eat.3If I send them home hungry, they will faint along the way. For some of them have come a great distance.”
